Obama about to Throw in the Towel on Health Care

Now everyone understands why it was such a hurry to get this done. There was a deadline by August, then it passed to the Holiday Recess, then it passed to the State of the Union. Now it just passed on it seems.

"And it may be that ... if Congress decides we're not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not," the president said. "And that's how democracy works. There will be elections coming up, and they'll be able to make a determination and register their concerns."

I think taking his eye off of jobs and the economy and spending all your political capital foolishly on something that 70% of Americans don't care about may just put Obama into the bottom 1/3 of Presidents so far. I hope the President understands that if you really want something and will take the hit for not getting it don't outsource it to Pelosi and Reid.
