Digby: Trigger Finger

So, the latest scuttlebutt is that Obama walked back Rahm's "trigger" comments to the Wall Street Journal today by saying that he still thinks a public option is the best way to get to serious health care reform.

But it looks to me as if we are seeing the trigger being set up as the "compromise." I don't know that, of course, but it's highly doubtful to me that Rahm was totally off the reservation. But it would probably be a good idea to get the trigger off the table sooner rather than later. The trigger is a reform killer.
