Kind of getting tired of referring to "the
New Yorker's great Amy Davidson," but
she's at it again with smart online piece on Obama and how he needs to handle ACA rollout disaster.
After five years in the White House, Obama still believes that he can go into a corner, tinker with something until it’s better, and win on the merits. The long view can serve him well, but it can also leave him unprepared when the other side won’t give up on an all-out battle. Health-care reform is the President’s signature legislative achievement, and a historic one. To preserve it, he needs to fight for it politically, state by state. This time, the Obama brand alone isn’t enough.
