Will be difficult
If Obama were behind the curve only on health care reform, it would have been easier for the 86 to vote against Obama. Sadly, Obama employs the same tactic/disdain in almost all his no change "changes." He promised financial systems reform and has no intention to do much. This week, we found out that Obama shows a willingness to compromise, agreeing to relax some consumer protections; will end up without much protects. Stimulus, Gitmo, FISA, etc.
Obama look repeatedly as a guy who talks loudly and carries a match stick. It's frustrating, infuriating, hopeless and very mean on Obama's part.

If only it were a match stick!
Then he could light a fire.
