John Nichols, Maggie Mahar and Olga Pierce debate whether Obama should be a larger part of the health care fight, or if he was wise to stay out of the fray.

In fact, no one knows. The process has been so disorganized that it makes you wonder whether our political system has just broken down. Each senator seems to think that he or she has the right to demand what he or she wants regardless of what the majority wants. It is disgusting. The senators pretend to be working together, but in reality, they act like small children fighting over a piece of pie. They are neither working with each other nor for the best interests of their constituents. They need to stop as a body and think about what they are doing.

The House is just as bad with John Boehner leading the most vicious, selfish bunch of mules in the Republican Party to nay-say any idea that comes from the Democrats just for sport. It has become so pointlessly partisan and egotistical. Do these people really think that they are gaining the respect of Americans and the world through this kind of childish behavior?

We can all see how much he cares if we get public option or not.

he was self-delusional. Anything Congress passes will reflect back on his Presidency, for good or for bad!
