President Obama is pushing the health care legislation currently pending in Congress once again. He has also asked Republicans, who are asking to start over, to bring their own proposals at a February 25th conference which the President is hoping can be televised.
Bob Blendon, a health policy and political analyst at Harvard University, was quoted as saying "The president is trying to turn around the sour mood on this issue and mitigate the criticism that he's ramming this bill down people's throats."
Republicans are still reluctant with such a conference, with most of them wanting to start from a clean slate. Several proposals have arisen within the party as well, many which can be found here: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61757T20100208

It's like the person who said this got two birds with only one stone. I think a lot of Americans would agree on that quotation, because it is exactly what's going on. Obama is turning out to be more a populist than anything who seeks popularity and good will from the population, if doesn't get that, he can actually, as you saw for the policies on unemployment and businesses, switch to Republican views. He's obviously very insecure of himself.
