Is Obama trying to hard to appease the Republicans

Obama's goal from the beginning is to have healthcare reform that would have bipartisan support.
The Republicans have shown no sign to budge off the no public option.
Obama anxious to have collaboration has hinted at dropping the public option.
The Democrats and many pundits feel he is compromising too early.

He is showing good faith but it not being reciprocated by the opposition.

 

That's called "lag time". They want to see if the offer is genuine or just another political ploy.

 

he is trying to deflect anger, it will do him no good.

 

I don't know...many Republicans, I'll bet, don't appreciate being called Nazis or mobsters...

 

There has been plenty of name calling on both sides. It does not help. Obama is not calling anyone a Nazi.

 

yeah, maybe he should have thought of that before he told them "hey, I won"

 

i don't get why he has to change everything. if you get sick, take NyQuil. that fixes everything! then we won't need health care. except for the people who drink too much NyQuil. They'll need help

 

We need to think out of the box. American creativity like yours will solve the problem

 

why thank you. unless your sarcastic, then i shall have a sad face like this

 

Perhaps he should put a muzzle on his Speaker of the House, if he's serious about working together?

She's a loose cannon.
