People on his left yelling 'corporatist!', on his right 'socialist!', Barack Obama forges ahead

Advertisements [?]

The average voter who hears both sides looks and says to his/her buddy "hey, I don't know if this Healthcare stuff is good or bad, but what we have now ain't gettin' any better, that's for sure! Besides, this guy is sticking to his guns - I like a guy who doesn't back down. If he thinks it's worth fighting for, then perhaps we should give him a chance".

This very American thinking (we like winners and we hate losers and quitters) was mentioned by one of the TV pundits yesterday and it struck a chord with me.
