Wolf Blitzer said "The president is to blame for letting Congress take total control of healthcare and providing no input what soever. He said the administration did the complete opposite of 93-94. He said if the president would have shown some leadership something on the healthcare agenda could have been passed. This is what is hurting the party"!!!!
Pres.Obama has played laissez faire approach on health care. Wanting to be tefflon President does not always work in your favor, especially when the masses decide the proposal stinks..
As the President, he needed to take charge, and weigh in. He needed to decide what is the path he is proposing and get people to buy into that.
He stood on the sideline with a pen in hand.
That does not work.
Now, why he did that is another question altogther. He may have said 93-94 there was too much direction from the WH. Well, that was not the case. What the congress has done is actually move to the exact proposal that was turned down in 93-94. That is entirely stupid; they did not learn that the Reps are simply that; they are reps of people's voice.
Typically, the voters move en masse to cause a show down to balance power... because they are onto the powerful bully pulpit with the loud microphone.

I am in shock that Wolf uttered a word of criticism about potus whom CNN has treated like the messiah from day 1.

CNN [as well as rest of MSM] serve at the pleasure of President Marxist, I think they will be fired soon or told to shape up and keep distributing koolaid to the zoombie voters.
Wait, he showed leadership behind closed doors, yes he was wheeling and dealing, now's he has everybody scrambling.

I totally agree. Barack got exactly what he wanted - well, what his puppet masters wanted - and he did it all behind closed doors. That was in the news! O-criminal met with Big Pharma, etc.. at the White House, in secret, although he'd promised transparency.
What Wolf is trying to do is sneakily ABSOLVE OBAMA of what's in the bill. It's better to make BO look weak and stupid than it is to make him look like what he is: E-VIL.
