Calling them 'death panels' is catchy. nowhere near anything truthful, but catchy. It'll be easy for Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, et al to use and rile up the great, largely ignorant, masses.

The American people in the majority do not want a partisan healthcare bill, they want a truly bipartisan one and until they have one they will not be comfortable. The Democrats have enough members of Congress that they could pass it without any republican support, but they haven't. They can't even sell it to enough of their own party, how are they going to sell it to the majority of Americans?<br><br>The answer is, they wont, not until they scrap the partisan approach and make a real and determined effort at bipartisanship with the liberal wing of the Democratic party taking a back seat to the more moderate members of the democratic party.

He has not made national TV addresses to outline all the major goals of reforming healthcare. He has allowed Congress to wander all over the place and critics to dominate the discussion. He seems to be operating as if he were in a law class at Harvard or Univ. of Chicago. The socratic method does not work in the real world, and you need to play nasty, dirty and very assertive politics. I see the President afraid of staking out any major or even detailed policy positions for fear of losing popularity. Actually his drop in the polls reflects his silence on major issues of the day. He has to be more assertive and controlling or others will sweep him out of power quite quickly. I agree that misinformation and general stupidity are pervasive problems but that did not stop the Roosevelts, Reagans, or Johnsons when they were Presidents in the past. I don't want my Presidents to be likeable or loveable but to be smart, effective and respected. President Obama is being torn between the 2 and he can't be both extremes.
