If his plan were simply to move the country to the left he could have done this incrementally. Instead, he has attacked on all fronts, and with bizarrely ineffectual plans. Had he used the simple ruse of accepting any "bi-partisan": compromise with Republicans, such as nominal tort law reform, he could have instituted his plan for socialized medicine with the support of the McCains of the Congress, along with a public option.
But his real goal, which he apparently does not consciously admit to himself, is destruction. The reason he could not accept a single compromise with the Republicans on health care is because any positive step, like allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines, is anathema to him emotionally. There was not one actual positive reform that he could stomach. He is driven by emotion. Look at his State of the Union speech, it was a childish temper tantrum. Were he consciously aware of his emotional drive to destroy, he would have willingly accepted the price of some small compromise, some lump of sugar, to get the patient to swallow the poison. We are lucky that this boy child friend of racists and terrorists doesn't know and will not admit to himself what he really thinks.
