WHy the buzz?
Obama is either for it or against it but it's not in his hands at the moment.
If any bill for reform gets passed by the House and the Senate, Obama (if he's truly against it) can simply veto. If he signs it, it's law.
Either way, either the people get reform or Obama will face the consequences of killing the bill, a very hard thing for him to recover from after all these years of foot dragging from both sides of the aisle.
Then too, if Obama is even voicing opposition to reform at all, perhaps it's no maore than a face saving gesture so he can face his contibutors and honestly state that he did the best he could to oppose it on the Hill, whether he went through the motions for political purposes or not.
Bottom line?
Keep the pressure on the Senate and House for reform. And no matter what sort of buzz the media generates, remember, they as well as we only get half of any story until it's finalized.
So what happens prior to hitting the President's desk is all speculative. Until Obama signs or vetoes the reform bill, let's not count him out over the buzz created for "click counts", Neilsen ratings or paper circulation.
