Myself, I think that Obama didn't so much fail at leadership, although he could not have been expected to do otherwise, as much as he simply did not know how to do the impossible. You cannot create legislation that gives better health care to more people at less cost, and that allows people "to keep your insurance if you like it." Remember, he always talked about "under my plan...." and then never presented that plan to Congress because it's another unicorn apple (that's like a horse apple, only imaginary).
