Some of them are hardly concerned with America's direction or their constituents' need for thought-out HC. They just don't want any trouble from their financial backers and lobbyists. Despite the fact that it is their voters and their party that will take the impact if reform comes to naught, in their eyes any decent reform is "too early" or "not detailed enough". So it is not clear that it is Obama's supposed far-lefterismishness that is bothering them - they will frown as long as the money frowns. It's funny - if Obama doesn't do anything he and his party will suffer. But if he tries to do something there will always be lobbyist-beholden "centrists" trying to keep things on the backburner. The GOP will obstruct everything by default. They're not allowed to not do anything, they're not allowed to do nothing.
