I don't think they are the problem, the problem is that Obama has a habit of ignoring them and not including them in virtually any negotiations. Pelosi fought hard and long and got the votes for single payer and Obama gave it away. Seems there were other similar situations when Pelosi lead the Dem majority through Obama's first two years.

It isn't the House Dems, it's Obama and few Blue Dog Senators that are the problem.
