David Drucker of Roll Call reports that centrist Senate Dems Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana say President Obama failed to "change the dynamic" on health care with his SOTU last night.

Landrieu was particularly pointed in her critique, saying:

“I think the president should have been more clear about a way forward on health care last night. You know, he just can't — I think he should have been more clear. I'm hoping that in the next week or two he will be. Because that's what it's going to take, if it's at all possible to get this done,” Landrieu told reporters. “Mailing in general suggestions, sending them out of the transom, is not really going to work.” [snip]

“Senate Democrats who give the Senate — moderate Senate Democrats who give the Senate the 60 votes come from states that have to appreciate a broad range of ideas,” Landrieu said. “And I think the president since he ran on a bipartisan, changing, working with Republicans, doesn't do a great service to then say, ‘Everything the House Caucus passes without any Republican votes is then something the Senate should just take.'”
