Maybe he should have followed Nancy Pelosi's lead and come up with creative new names for it:
Yeah, that'll fool 'em.
A government-sponsored "public option" for health care lives, though it may be more attractive to skeptics if it goes by a different moniker, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday.
In an appearance at a Florida senior center, the Democratic leader referred to the so-called public option as "the consumer option." Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., appeared by Pelosi's side and used the term "competitive option."
Both suggested new terminology might get them past any lingering doubts among the public—or consumers or competitors.
"You'll hear everyone say, 'There's got to be a better name for this,'" Pelosi said. "When people think of the public option, public is being misrepresented, that this is being paid for with their public dollars."

Put lipstick on a pig and you still have a pig.
A pile of hog manure by any other name would stink just as much.
I think Shakespeare said that.
Ms Pelosi's comments reveal a substantive lack of concern for the well being of the people. It also reveals a belief on her part that the people are either uneducated or stupid or both. Term limits is needed for cleansing congress.
