All Rational

I'm sorry to say it, but this, from Attaturk at FDL, is a pretty good example of skepticism on the Left about Obama's ability to retake control of the health care debate:

Here's the deal, he'll make a speech, he'll be all rational as he disappoints his base who has no real alternative, the right-wing will make up some new series of crazed bs that "nobody anticipates" the media treats it seriously and nobody wins except in the Pyrrhic sense.

Or not, as I need to end on an optimistic note for no particularly logical reason.
