Norm Coleman recites a veritable litany of grievances against what Obama has done since taking office, in an article posted here at Politico, with healthcare reform taking center stage:
[Americans] are justifiably angry at the massive bait-and-switch on health care reform, the most important public policy debate in our lifetime. Obama has violated their trust, especially devastating with the long list of challenges we need unity to tackle, like jobs, energy and the deficit.
Health care is an emotional issue for everyone. In my years in government I learned that the deeper an issue, the more carefully leaders have to listen; and the greater the need for consensus-building rather than using raw political power.
Reading the rest is time well spent.
