Who's running the health care show?

A CNN article says "some congressional Democrats are 'baffled,' and another senior Democratic source told CNN that those members are frustrated that that they're not getting more specific direction from him on health care."

Haven't they read Obama's extensive health care plan?

Oh wait - this isn't the Obama plan - he's letting Congress write it, just like the pork-laden stimulus package. The New York Times pointed out that there currently is no "Obama plan" on the table since he has not endorsed any of the plans being discussed in Congress. (The NYT later removed the remark from the story).

Isn't it odd that Obama got so much credit for all the detailed "plans" he displayed on his campaign website while running for President, but now is deferring to Congress so much that his own party is confused and frustrated with him?

Perhaps Obama intended to have Daschle quarterback this process, but Daschle is not around anymore.

Let's see what Obama says tonight in his prime-time speech...
