President Obama has a green light and open eight-lane highway for health-care reform. But somehow the guy can't put his foot on the gas. He hedges in neutral while some fellow Democrats muck up policy and Republicans demagogue them into mush.
A commanding 85 percent of Americans want "fundamental changes" in American health care, according to a recent New York Times-CBS News poll.
On the allegedly controversial "public option" -- a government-run plan that would compete with private insurers -- 72 percent are in favor. And that includes half of self-identified Republicans.
What is Obama afraid of? He apparently dreads repeating the mistakes of the Clinton health proposal. One was letting wonks create a mostly finished health-reform product. Neither lawmakers nor health-care interests liked being kept out of the kitchen.
Obama wanted to avoid, as he recently put it, "my way or the highway" on health care. But that needn't mean sitting stalled on the interstate as friends and foes alike run a demolition derby over coherent policy.
Remember how the Clinton plan was ridiculed for being too complicated. Hillary's 1,400 pages became the big ha-ha.
And so what are so-called moderate Democrats, fearful of supporting a public plan, suggesting in its place? Fifty separate cooperatives, each run by a board of directors managing its own risk pool, cutting its own deals with doctors and hospitals.
Only 50?

Can the Baraqqi stampede be slowed?
I pray so.
Does any one know if Obama is “graying” his hair again? At today’s press conference and over the last two weeks he has some Grey hair (like when he was running for office but then it was gone). This will be known as the hair today gone tomorrow conspiracy theory.....
How can these people quote this scam of a poll? Because they have no conscience. What was it, something like 33% voted for McCain and 66% voted for obi? That's one way to get the results you want. I guess even they thought it would be pretty obvious if the picked 100% obi voters. But I'm sure they thought long and hard about it.
Dudd the Snoreatore from Connecthedots doublespoke when he said we’ve been trying to get this passed for 25 years and we’re going to get it done now!
In otherwords WE GOT DA Votes and you idiot Americans can’t do a dam#@$!ed thing about it...
How freakin’ ARROGANT!
