You misunderstand the context of what this means for the Obama administration. Obama is heavily vested in the passage of this health insurance legislation. With an overwhelming democrat majority in the congress a deaf blind mute illiterate president could pass significant health insurance reform. If Obama lacks the skill to navigate his legislation through both houses it shows he is not the "uniter" he pledged to be, nor politically savvy enough to lead an effective administration.

The government option that is being passed is not the one you think it is as it will not have the power to force rates upon the industry...therefore the rest of the idea that it will force out private insurance is wrong. If fact with the forcing of young people who don't have high costs into insurance this is a huge gife the the Insurance companies.
As to your second point unlike the Republicians who have taken on the aspect of the people (totalitarian regeimes) that they think they hate but really admire...the Democratic Party still believes in the liberial point of view that a representivie government elected by the people works and thus you see different points of view in the party that must be accounted for in order to pass this bill...the trick is getting as much as one side wants while getting enough votes...the essence of good politics.
