If there is no coherent plan how can there possibly be a coherent response?
I'm with you, I think {Obama} jumped into this thing without any real plan other than to rally everyone around "we have to do something" rather than having a real plan with real solutions and I think it's a tactical misstep. If Obama had come out and said he was going to offer every legal resident the same plan our elected representatives are enjoying there wouldn't be near the outcry. He made some serious mistakes with this debate from the very beginning.
People are getting real sick of politics as usual and I think some of that is spilling over into these town hall meetings as not all the frustration is centered upon healthcare. People are generally mistrustful of their elected representatives and the government as whole.
