Obama facing public, political criticism of plan
While President Barack Obama's concession on a health care "government option" continues to draw complaints from liberals, it is failing to gain interest from his conservative critics.

1. Pre-compromise and bipartisanship sure are working out awesome.

3. Start out weak and talk it down from there. Outstanding strategy if you're taking a fall.

...that it didn't work. Maybe he'll wake up now. (We can hope he'll change.)

4. Obama just refuses to see that a) the pukes will never support ANY reform, b) the plan
as it is being presented is too complicated and easily-attacked, and c) liberals will not get behind such a weak-ass "reform."

He could have done much, much better. He chose not to. Bad policy and bad politics.
