Who would be admitting what? Obamacare does zero to reduce the cost of health care and it is bankrupting the middle class in the process. So unless you mean Obama will come out and say he was wrong, then I have no idea who you are talking about.

I do think people should have mandated healthcare, but the reality is, Obama's bill doesn't quite fix or address the problem fully and I doubt any administration can fix it overnight. A universal healthcare program is much harder to implement and to scale in the States.
Anyhow, I doubt there's a Republican contender that appeals to anyone but their base to challenge Obama, unless one really comes across as more pragmatic than the usual conservative in the primaries.
I agree that the problem is big, but it can be fixed if done correctly. What Obama did is a joke though, it doesn't even begin to touch the problem.

This I agree with. If people would quit voting for a party simply because of the party's name (like sheep) and start voting for the people that they think could/would do the best job, we would all be better off. I'm not saying voting 3rd party is the way to go all the time or anything, but voting for a Dem simply because he/she is a Dem (or voting Rep simply because he/she is a Rep) is stupid. Vote for the best person out of all of the candidates (or in some elections, the lesser of the evils).

i'm saying the obama fanboys who thought he would bring all this amazing change and voted for him in the first place are not going to want to admit they were wrong. they'll fool themselves into thinking that bush left the country too screwed up and obama just needs more time.
A lot of Republicans and Tea Partiers are making a lot of moderates look back to the left. If you would have asked me 6 months ago, I would have said Obama would have gone down fighting in the next election. Now, I think he wins pretty easily. Republicans have ticked off a lot of people lately. People always love the ideals of conservatism until they are the ones affected by it and that's not saying that conservatism is a bad thing, just that most people are only conservative with other people's money and livelihoods.

Is 3 months time enough to change anybody's opinion?

Republicans and Tea Partiers are taking credit for the economic recovery in 3 month, so I guess anything's possible. Even giant ants in freakin' top hats dancing around because in this political universe it seems like there's room for all kinds of weird crap.
