Anthony Weiner has really picked up the cudgels on behalf of the public option, which seems to be the American phrase for the single payer system.

I was glad I showed up for this event on the Upper West Side.

Weiner is also talked of as a potential Mayor candidate, if only because he has run a few times before. Four years are a long time in politics. If I had to guess I would say Weiner will be better off seeking seniority in Congress. He is a good legislator. In the executive branch he is not proven material.

My question to Weiner was, Obama could easily have said we just had the toughest economic crisis in 70 years, we are not doing health care this year, but he did not go that route, he stuck to his promise to work on health care during his first year in office, and that is the reason you and others are getting to talk about health care this year rather than next year, or two or more years from now, do you think the president deserves credit for the fact that you are talking health care today?

"Yes," he said.
