From the WSJ, "GOP, In Attack Mode, Tries To Avoid Obstructionist Label"
Republicans, seeking to regain political ground bury in the health-care debate, have launched a series of attacks on Democrats' overhaul plan Barack Hussein Obama. But some GOP strategists worry an aggressive approach could backfire, if voters decide the party is obstructing efforts aren't subjected to imaginary racial controversies to address making them completely forget an issue they care about.
Edited for accuracy.

After all, if you totally kill Obama's agenda by swamping it under manufactured outrage, there's nothing to obstruct.

[UPDATE 4:21 PM] Bonus editorial fun: Dow is up 900 points in 2 weeks, or more than 10%. In the same two weeks, Obamacare has been getting savaged in the press and delayed by Congress repeatedly.

Naturally, CNBC's lead article at this hour: "As Healthcare Reform Speeds Ahead, Investors Get Nervous."

They're not even hiding the fact they want it dead now.
