Voters Are Just Not That Into Liberals

[Geee]

President Obama told governors Monday that he endorsed the idea of states opting out of the Affordable Care Act as early as 2014 if they could offer similar coverage to as many people without inflating the deficit. In the president’s very public words, he would “go to bat for whatever works.”

The same day, the White House said something altogether different during an off-the-record conference call to allies on the Left. The flexibility stressed on the private conference call involved allowing single-payer plans and more purely government-run health care at the state level. A source who spilled the beans on the discussion to Politico observed: “They are trying to split the baby here: on one hand they tell supporters this is good for their pet issues, versus a message for the general public that the POTUS is responding to what he is hearing and that he is being sensible.”

What explains two very different messages on one day by the very same White House?
