Obama is floating stuff all over the place. He is first, and foremost, a politician, concerned with his reelection and the reelection of his party. The polling data I've seen (and I'm sure they have their own polling data that shows the same) alienating the independents and a lot of people who have voted for him. Another poll I saw showed that he's dropped around 20 pts in job approval from when he first took office. His stimulus that wasn't stimulus was one thing, and this health care stuff is the other.
Now I suppose I'm with JW to an extent that he should do what he thinks is right regardless of the polls. But he doesn't want lose his vast majority in the house and senate as Clinton did (in the House anyway).
