The four reasons Obama has flopped on the “public option”

Salon has a great article on this; not just on the pubilc option but larger healthcare reform, and Obama's stumbles and worse to date.

NOT so stunningly for those of us who saw through his alleged, and yes, I say alleged, rhetorical skills, Obama the former college prof, as one of the four flop reasons, failed to articulate what his plan was about. (Of course, that’s because he refused to take leadership and ownership of the plan early on, instead leaving that to multiple Congressional committees, which is another of the four faults.)
