I just finished watching the Pres. addressing the Congress, I thought that was one of the best speeches I have heard in a while.

I missed it. I'm going to watch it online. Is that the same speech that Willing saw?

I honestly heard nothing new. It was all the same old talking points that he's said before compiled into one speech. I really want to see a debate about this between him and a prominent opponent from the Republicans. He's never given any real details or done anything but regurgitate the same old lines... I want him to really defend this plan, not just try to sell it.

I was just watching the Republican response to his speech. Obama needs to stop being nice to the Republicans and use his Democratic advantage and get er done as far as I am concerned. He is trying too damn hard to bring a group in that cannot be brought in. Just do it, man. And they talked of their form of healthcare reform and it is basically nothing new. Nothing at all. They do not want to change it. Their only defense is to put a price on life. They are saying that the cost of saving lives is too much. It is actually less than the war in Iraq and that saved how many lives? Is still saving how many lives? Sheesh, just get it worked out and passed already. He doesn't need the Republicans. He is much too nice in my opinion.

When this whole system tanks and the program is sitting in shambles in a few years, I really want to be able to point a finger when they really have nobody else to blame and say "I f**king told you so"

I liked the speach. I also belive he needs to push healh care reform thourh with or with out the help of the republicans. He should do a George W. Bush on these so called blue dog democrats and call them out. He should say you are either for me or against me and the american people.

"I intherited it from Bush."

Obama is an excellent public speaker. A genuine cult of personality.

That is how america works when you control both the executive and legislative branches. and dude, please refrain from the name calling and stereotyping... it makes the rest of us fiscal conservatives look bad. The message itself is good, just stick to it instead lol

Gotta love it when a political party basically says " We know what's best for you so just shut up and take it. The people make no difference. They have no voice. At least, not one that matters. As long as they agree with us, they will be heard. The ones that don't agree with us...well..they don't count anyway. " What a GREAT way to run a country. Great idea. Let's just turn this country into a dictatorship while we are at it. I mean, the Dems have control right now anyway. let's just appoint ( oh wait....WE don't have to and WE wouldn't have a choice in the matter anyway if the Dems decided to go ahead and do that ) Obama " President for Life " and get on with it.

And just over half of congress voted against them having to be covered by it. Figgure, if it's good enough for us, should be good enough for them.
