President Obama talks to Steve Kroft in his latest interview on "60 Minutes" about why he "owns" his health care reform plan. Sunday, 9/13/09, 7PM ET

PRESIDENT OBAMA: "I have no interest in having a bill get passed that fails, that doesn't work. I intend to be President for a while, and once this bill passes, I own it. And if people look and say 'You know what? This hasn't reduced my cost. My premiums are still going up 25 percent, insurance companies are still jerking me around,' I'm the one who's going to be held responsible. I have every incentive to get this right."

2. He already has "got it wrong"

Mandatory insurance was NOT what we wanted.
Affordable health care is what we needed.

However, I expect very little from an administration which STILL provides privatized VA health care.

3. How does that play in light of the fact

that Wall Street is still conducting business as usual, in effect resuming their screwing of the people who bailed them out? Is anybody saying "Hey, this didn't work, we still have work to do."?
