People are only holding Obama responsible.

It won't even make it to his desk to sign if there was more opposition, especially from the progressives who are supporting it.

On this issue it seems like the Repubs are getting th upper hand. Michelle Bachman, Darryl Issa, Paul Ryan are among the repubs who are against it but some of our progressives are supporting it.
