that just seems an easy out to me, to blame it all on some leftover bad feelings from the primaries...
backing down on the public option is a pretty big deal. A pretty big policy deal. Are we supposed to support him just because he's Barack Obama or are we supposed to support him because we believe in his policies? You reduce things to a level of personal vendetta, a desire to see Obama fail for personal reasons? I think that's a shallow excuse.
Perhaps Obama is losing his constituent mandate because he is waffling on his policy goals. He's the leader, at some point the blame for failure is his.
