Why 'Obama-care' is failing -- latimes.com

Why 'Obama-care' is failing -- latimes.com: "To listen to the White House and its supporters, in and out of the media, you would think that opposition to 'Obama-care' is the hobgoblin of a few small minds on the right. Racists, fascists, Neanderthals, the whole 'Star Wars' cantina of boogeymen and cranks stand opposed to much-needed reform.

Left out of this fairly naked effort to demonize a great many with the actions of a tiny few is the simple fact that Obama-care -- however defined -- has been tanking in the polls for weeks. President Obama's handling of healthcare is unpopular with a majority of Americans and a majority of self-proclaimed independents.

Focusing on the town halls certainly has its merits, but if you actually wanted Obama-care to pass, casting a majority of Americans as being stooges of racist goons may not be the best way to go."
