I guess Obama's media blitz was a massive waste of time. That appearance on Letterman wasn't the magic bullet.
I guess the strategy of calling people racists was just an exercise in ugly divisive politics of personal destruction.
The push for government-run health care isn't working.
Rasmussen reports that support for ObamaCare continues to plummet.
Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% are opposed to the plan.
Senior citizens are less supportive of the plan than younger voters. In the latest survey, just 33% of seniors favor the plan while 59% are opposed. The intensity gap among seniors is significant. Only 16% of the over-65 crowd Strongly Favors the legislation while 46% are Strongly Opposed.
For the first time ever, a slight plurality of voters now express doubt that the legislation will become law this year. Forty-six percent (46%) say passage is likely while 47% say it is not. Those figures include 18% who say passage is Very Likely and 15% who say it is Not at All Likely. Sixty percent (60%) are less certain.
...As Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, wrote recently in the Wall Street Journal: “The most important fundamental is that 68% of American voters have health insurance coverage they rate good or excellent … Most of these voters approach the health care reform debate fearing that they have more to lose than to gain.” A Rasmussen video report shows that 53% of those with insurance believe it’s likely they would have to change coverage if the congressional plan becomes law.
This sums it up:
“The most important fundamental is that 68% of American voters have health insurance coverage they rate good or excellent … Most of these voters approach the health care reform debate fearing that they have more to lose than to gain.”

It might just be me, but this constant re-iteration of the same aspects of care seem to suggest that we the people "Just don't get it"
Or read another way. We are too stupid to know what is good for us. All the facts we see on the bad stuff in this plan are lies or spun incorrectly, or our perception is wrong.
Further the asinine finger pointing that the republicans are blocking Obama. The obvious ad hominem attacks on we the people from the left media and government as well.
It is really sad. Obama did have a chance to prove me wrong. I actually hoped he would. At the least it seems the voters are sitting up and taking notice.
