Just to get one thing straight about health care reform, anyone with half a brain will notice that Republicans aren't trying to defeat Obama's agenda with ideas of their own. Where is an opposition plan to the Democrats'? There isn't one. Republicans are trying to defeat health care reform with fear-mongering lies. Death panels, killing grandma, government takeover, socialism, it's all lies and it's all they have. Slapping nut sacks across your face is not an opposition plan.
One reason for the discontent in Obama's base has not been implementing his agenda, but how he's going about it. There is no reason to negotiate with people like Sen. Grassley who are saying the "public option" will kill grandma. Someone who says something like that has no intention of honest negotiations. All they want to do is rile up fear. Coincidentally, that's exactly what terrorists want to do as well. People to live in fear is their goal.
Early indications from Bloomberg over the weekend is that President Obama's patience might have run out on bipartisan support for reform. It's not bipartisan when you are dealing with people who think the president is an enemy. This isn't 1993. We can't go through that again. Let Republicans drag their knuckles, the 21st century isn't waiting.
