Healthcare reform is creating more anxiety than euphoria

The results are in, there's no point denying them: passage of healthcare reform is a definite negative for Barack Obama. I guess this shouldn't be surprising. The bill was unpopular – and when you pass an unpopular bill, people aren't going to be wild about it. Polls come and go, but this much is clear: contrary to the confident predictions of many liberals (although not me), Obama got no positive bounce from the reform's passage. If anything, he got a slightly negative one. One poll number at the end of last week had to be read twice: by 50%-46%, Gallup respondents said Obama doesn't deserve re-election.
