This bit from Jonah Goldberg basically nails the Democrats' problem with their Health Bill. Money quote:
The problem is that Americans don't like what they've heard about the plan, and Obama is incapable of selling, or unwilling to sell, it on the merits (perhaps because he knows the plan will lead to the single-payer system he has long sought but now denies wanting). That's why Obama spends most of his time either attacking critics or denouncing the status quo.He's right. And President Obama is just not up to the job.
