Loser Mentality

This comes from today's Huffington Post in discussing the Obama administration's approach to Universal Health Care, or as the Obama ultra-light version is called, teeny-tiny, moderate Health Care Reform:


“The White House obviously has a loser mentality -- but America rallies around winners. Polls show that in state after state, voters hate the Senate bill and overwhelmingly want a public option, even if passed with zero Republican votes. More than 50 Senate Democrats and 218 House Democrats were willing to vote for the public option before, and the only way to lose in reconciliation is if losers are leading the fight. That's why Democrats in Congress should ignore the White House and follow those like Chuck Schumer and Robert Menendez who know that the public option is a political and policy winner.”

Saying that President Barack Obama and his administration have a “loser's mentality” is pretty strong language. But this seems to be right on target.
