His own party is now starting to tell Obama to actually start doing something other than just talking. I don't think Obama is capable of anything other than talk. And the topper his he doesn't even know what's in the bill ( âYou know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.â when asked about Section 102) He's just a cheap ass salesman that doesn't even know what he's selling.

Senator: Democrats "baffled" by president's health care stance
Posted: 10:46 PM ET
From CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash
WASHINGTON (CNN) â As the prospects for passing health reform by the time Congress leaves for its August recess look bleaker, Democratic grumbling about President Obama is growing louder. One Democratic senator tells CNN congressional Democrats are âbaffled,â and another senior Democratic source tells CNN members of the presidentâs own party are still âfrustratedâ that theyâre not getting more specific direction from him on health care. âWe appreciate the rhetoric and his willingness to ratchet up the pressure but what most Democrats on the Hill are looking for is for the president to weigh in and make decisions on outstanding issues. Instead of sending out his people and saying the president isnât ruling anything out, members would like a little bit of clarity on what he would support â especially on how to pay for his health reform bill,â a senior Democratic congressional source tells CNN. The Democratic leadership had hoped the work going on behind closed doors for months could bear fruit in time for the presidentâs news conference Wednesday night. But multiple Democratic sources tell CNN thatâs looking very unlikely, and one senior Democratic source tells CNN there is some frustration among Democratic leaders that Senate negotiators have, "repeatedly missed deadlines."
