WASHINGTON Bowing to Republican pressure, President Barack Obama’s administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new U.S. health care system.

The Parthian archers, mounted on light horse, would feign retreat; then, while at a full gallop, turn their bodies back to shoot at the pursuing enemy.

At best, we have won a skirmish – IF this is not smoke being blown by the Democrats smoke-blower-in-chief.

There are rumblings tonight that Obama remains committed to pressing ahead for a public health care plan. The announcement that the Obama administration is ready to abandon a public plan seems like another ploy meant to appease the American people so they let down their guard. So far Obama’s rhetoric has lacked credibility. As such I am skeptical of whatever comes out of the Obama administration.
