Americans have had it with political spin, and specifically political double-talk. Americans didn't like it when it came at them as Bush-speak and Americans really don't like it when it's Obama's lawyer-speak. He said that he supported single payer, and if "it's the best for the people" (as he communicated clearly), it's the best whenever.
Obama insisted that it was up to Congress to write the legislation, that he wasn't going to be involved in doing it. After promising transparency in his administration, he prevented transparency and kept hidden secret negotiations and deals he was making with PhRma, Hospitals and the AMA. After the secret deals came to light, Obama l!ed both to the American people and to Congress which had several committees working on legislation that Obama's secret deals undermined.
From day one, Obama conceded positions of the left, of the People, that weren't his to concede. Obama took single payer off the table because everything else pales against it. Obama unilaterally made the decision to forever tie Americans' getting healthcare through employer-subsidized insurance, in spite of the fact that employers don't want to do that and employees don't want it.

Obama isn't an honest agent. In politics, all you have is your word, and with it your credibility. Obama's lost his;he's not anyone to trust.
