Dan Riehl comments on Obama's mismanagement of health care

Several times the legislative bodies called out for leadership. But there was never any - not even once. Does he want a public option, or does he not want it? You couldn't even answer that question today with any genuine conviction other than perhaps, well he'll give it up if it means getting a bill.

From a hallmark agenda item to a bill, just any bill will do? That's failure writ large. And the failure is Obama's and no one else's to own, even if he'll try to massage the message, or slink away from it, somehow.

And any bill he does get will prove to be a disaster, more likely to anger both the Right and his Left base than it is likely to make anyone happy at all. If there's any one word to sum up Obama's first year, even if he does get a bill, any bill - it's failure. And Barack Obama is the failure's name.
