You see, merely mentioning healthcare as part of a laundry list of items doesn't make it front and center as you're trying desperate to base your point on:

"In terms of the broad electorate, I'm not sure he really has a relationship. A president only gets a year or two to forge real bonds with the American people. In that time a crucial thing he must establish is that what is on his mind is what is on their mind. This is especially true during a crisis.

From the day Mr. Obama was sworn in, what was on the mind of the American people was financial calamity—unemployment, declining home values, foreclosures. These issues came within a context of some overarching questions: Can America survive its spending, its taxing, its regulating, is America over, can we turn it around?

That's what the American people were thinking about.

What really happened is that the President, his staff, and Reid and Pelosi got together and said "fuck the economy, we have super majorities, and never let a good crisis go to waste".

So you see, your point is bullshit. He set out to do something that would be seen as "monumental" so that he could go down in history as doing the thing that progressives have been trying to do since the days of FDR.

But the new president wasn't thinking about that. All the books written about the creation of economic policy within his administration make clear the president and his aides didn't know it was so bad, didn't understand the depth of the crisis, didn't have a sense of how long it would last. They didn't have their mind on what the American people had their mind on.

The president had his mind on health care. And, to be fair-minded, health care was part of the economic story. But only a part! And not the most urgent part. Not the most frightening, distressing, immediate part. Not the "Is America over?" part.

And to top it all off, the CBO recently came up with new score that DOUBLES the price of ObamaCare on top of it being UnConstitutional. Twenty-seven hundred pages that few read and many of the majority had to be bribed to vote for.

The point that he won by 4+% points only goes to emphasize the fact that a great number of Americans are stupid and can be duped.
