Health Care Reform Headed For Failure?

Last evening, President Barack Obama delivered a press conference in an attempt to salvage health care reform. It didn't work. His answers to questions were rambling at times and far too professorial at other times (and still lacked some much-needed details) and I walked away from the whole affair fairly confused about where reform efforts are headed. It seems to me that the President and many in his own party are at-odds with one another and that doesn't often spell success.

I fear that health care reform is headed either for failure--which would really disappoint folks like me who have no insurance--or it's headed toward a watered down plan that will cover some but not all without insurance and that President Obama and the Democrats will call it victory.

It's a measure of just how frustrated people have become that even MSNBC was criticizing the President last night--and that's the first time I've seen that on the Obama-loving network. That tells you something.
