All of those white house reporters were sitting there listening to Obama spit out all this info about what is going on with the health care (and other issues) and thinking to themselves - "geez, this guy is a lot smarter than me." If they weren't, their egos are out of control.

Hey, it isn't that I think Obama is doing everything perfect. I've criticized him before and will continue to do so. But it is apparent to me that the guy is incredibly intelligent, and that he wants he wants to be the Roosevelt of his era. He seems to truly be out for the little guy and gal.

There are a lot more little guys and gals in our society than there are otherwise. If they decide to step up and strongly support Obama then the wealthier minority will have few choices left. I thought Obama said several things that were pretty controversial. I'm going to wait and see what the mainstream media reports. Then I'll comment on it. I listened to Brian Williams, David Gregory, and Chuck Todd, talk for a few minutes afterward, and they ignored the controversies and went to some of the substantial issues in the health care issues. That was encouraging, but we'll have to wait till the morning after. The big issue, according to Gregory, was that Obama said that he wanted everyone covered in his health issurance plan.

And that was a big surprise? Geez, those guys missed a chance. But let's see what bubbles to the surface. I thought it was Obama pretty much at his best. He has conquered the back and forth, reading the teleprompters head movements that have characterized previous speeches. His mental capacity to delve into a number of issues and have command over them all at the same time is pretty impressive, to say the least.

Anyone who doesn't think that our health care system is pretty messed up hasn't had to use it in one form or another. It's worse than what Obama was saying. And Mitch McConnell says, "we don't want to rush it." Oh, hasn't it been like 20 years or more since we have been talking about reforming this broken system? I don't call that a hurry. That's delay and obfuscation, and McConnell shares a lot of the blame for it. And, the Republicans are playing a high risk game in playing politics with this.
