The counter narrative for the conservatives here should be how BHO and his associates were dishonest and petulant as they bargained in bad faith, having already prepared sinister machinations, as they planned to force the summit to fail.
The Health Care Summit was, from the beginning, designed to fail so the Administration could justify their desired coup d’etat of the insurance and medical industries in the face of clear public opposition, while ignoring the urgent economic concerns, especially unemployment.
This plan would damage the economy and has been soundly rejected by the public.

You may be right. Despite Obama saying “I hope this is not political theater.”
