WASHINGTON – No, maybe he can't. President Barack Obama, who insisted
he would succeed where other presidents had failed to fix the nation's
health care system, now concedes the effort may die in Congress.

The president's newly conflicting signals could frustrate Democratic
lawmakers who are hungry for guidance from the White House as they try
to salvage the effort to extend coverage to millions of uninsured
Americans and hold down spiraling medical costs. Obama's comments
Thursday night came hours after Republican Scott Brown was sworn in to
replace the late Edward M. Kennedy, leaving Democrats without their
filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and Obama's signature health
legislation with no clear path forward.

Idiot.
