Ah yes, just like Obama "asserted" he has passed a bill to regulate the nuclear industry saying, "I just did that last year." A bill that failed. Ah, you need proof:
"But, contrary to Mr. Obama’s comments in Iowa, it ultimately died amid parliamentary wrangling in the full Senate."

That's the organizational ability you're talking about? With his hands in the Nuclear Industry's deep pockets and running his campaign, Obama can do no wrong.
Wow!
Consider that Obama "lied" about "passing" a bill to regulate the Nuclear Industry. Yes, lied. The bill died, it NEVER passed. Not only that, but before it died, he watered it down so badly that the Nuclear Industry would NEVER have to notify the public of danger. Furthermore, the Nuclear industry has Obama in it's pocket, literally. Don't believe me? READ:

One of Obama's major financial supporters is a Nuclear Industry company, Exelon and as a matter of fact, Obama's chief political strategist, David Axelrod, has worked as a consultant to Exelon.
Wake up, people. Pull the wool from the front of your eyes. And you want to know why Obama NEVER speaks to the press? Maybe because there are hard questions he's not ready answer.
Oh right!!! Like Obama's fact checking site is going to AGREE with the New York Times article.
I'll wait for the error correction from the New York Times, thank you very much!
f the New York Times asks you to jump off a cliff will you wait for the correction?
Oh, that's a perfect rejoinder. So, witty! So, much logic there!!!
You know, I imagine that article had to researched fairly indepth and then "fact checked" by some independent fact checkers, so, yeah, I'll wait.
That's right: "to garnish the wages of workers who REFUSE to buy health insurance to ACHIEVE COVERAGE for ALL AMERICANS."
ALL AMERICANS, you idiot. And Clinton also spoke in length about making it far more affordable than it is now for folks. I'll gladly pay for that than what I'm paying NOW which is an outrage.
You know, Clinton has addressed those things if you bothered to listen. She has talked about making it affordable AND making it so that people CANNOT be denied insurance and insurance companies CANNOT deny necessary care for some ludicrous reason.
That affordability is created by mandated insurance because EVERYONE pays for it. She has also talked about options for people really would have problems paying a higher price.
You paid $5000 out of pocket. How much would you have had to pay if you didn't have insurance? Probably three times that. Believe me I know what you mean. I'm still paying off a hospital bill that won't be paid off until 2012.
Just because it's stated as being "mandated" in Mass. doesn't mean they have addressed the costs. But it doesn't mean Clinton's mandated plan won't.
Think of those possible 15 million of those people that it's said will bail out of getting insurance in Obama's plan. If 10 percent end up with a serious illness, how much will that end up costing them and us? And how much will it save if they have to pay a smaller price for insurance, but still pay and yet are covered when that serious illness or accident occurs?
If everyone pays into the pot, then the costs get spread out and shared. Not like it is now.
