Under fire, Obama shifts strategy (will not call for a public option)
 Source: Politico

Aides to President Barack Obama are putting the final touches on a new strategy to help Democrats recover from a brutal August recess by specifying what Obama wants to see in a compromise health care deal and directly confronting other trouble spots, West Wing officials tell POLITICO. Obama is considering detailing his health-care demands in a major speech as soon as next week, when Congress returns from the August recess. And although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said.

“We’re entering a new season,” senior adviser David Axelrod said in a telephone interview. “It’s time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done. We’re confident that we can do that. But obviously it is a different phase. We’re going to approach it in a different way. The president is going to be very active.”

Top officials privately concede the past six weeks have taken their toll on Obama's popularity. But the officials also see the new diminished expectations as an opportunity to prove their critics wrong by signing a health-care law, showing progress in Afghanistan, and using this month's anniversary of the fall of Lehman Brothers to push for a crackdown on Wall Street.

On health care, Obama’s willingness to forgo the public option is sure to anger his party’s liberal base. But some administration officials welcome a showdown with liberal lawmakers if they argue they would rather have no health care law than an incremental one. The confrontation would allow Obama to show he is willing to stare down his own party to get things done.

43. The public option is a deal breaker
 No candidate for public office, Obama included, who does not support a single payer public option will receive my vote ever again. I will stop voting first.

Dems will be lucky to have 70% of their house members in favor of a socialist bill on return from recess imo.

That's pretty funny.  I always like the "If Obama gives up on us and doesn't do what we say, he'll be left standing alone" types over there.  You can just see the panic and hatred in their faces as you read their non-sense.  Always good for a laugh.  The Dems know these idiots aren't going anywhere.
