Yup, that is what he shouted into the microphone during tonight's fundraiser in Chicago, he is defending health care reform and he is swinging!

-snip-
"I'm from Chicago. I don't break," he said, as the room erupted in cheers. "I've got great health insurance. ... I've got a doctor who follows me everywhere."

I didn't make it out to the Hyatt tonight, but he swung by the neighborhood to check out the house and the streets are buzzing. I missed the motorcade but everyone was buzzing about it when I was taking my evening walk.

6. Just hope he can snake charm enough of a good policy worth his efforts and our great needs.
Even if insurance reform of the very bad abuses, and a public option without too much of a firewall that only grows with use, would be a beginning.

18. Speaking of Kenya......
Why does the media fail to mention the fact that it doesn't matter where Obama was born, his momma is a U.S. Citizen.

17. I am watching c-span and a bunch of brain dead zombies
from the repub House and they are conducting a mind boggling hearing about Obama's health care plan and how we will all be doomed if he succeeds......

It is truly hard to follow their conversation with Dr.'s from all across the globe apparently chattering and cutting each other off about the disaster Obama is trying to force on we the people. Of course there are no dems there.

If Obama doesn't get this health care plan allowing public options, etc., I will be surprised. I am hoping he is lying in wait to strike at the right time. He appears to ignore the media chatter and try to keep the people aware of what is truly at stake by speaking directly to us daily. The media showed their ignorance by spending the day discussing the Professor and the cops. They know damn good and well that story is nothing compared to heath care and yet they refuse to make that the real story and the Professor a side issue. Makes a person wonder what has happened to the brain of the modern man?
