57. Lot of wisdom, particularly in his concluding remarks. Awesome ending.

It was better than his inaugural address. imo

[blogslut]

38. That was great!

I am so happy!

[TlalocW]

Obama's ratings are going to go up because of this

And if he's half as smart as he seems in his speeches, hopefully he can ride that wave to get some things pushed through.

TlalocW

[RayOfHope]

39. I hope he goes to find that Wilson guy and look him right in the eye n/t

[Javaman]

40. That was a pretty fine damn speech! nt

[avaistheone1]

Once more "We did not come to fear the future, we came here to shape it!!"

That was masterful. Now we need to do it the hard part.

[avaistheone1]

50. Brilliant job, now the devil is in the details and the follow-through.

[Rosco T.]

46. The 'thug response is gonna be pathetic....

[geekgrrl]

47. I expected to be dissappointed and I'm not. Thank you, Obama. That was fantastic!

[Stephanie]

48. WOW!!!

I have never seen a better speech by anyone ever!!! It was ICONIC, it was fucking incredible!!!

[Parker CA]

59. The single best speech I've ever seen too. Really an incredible arc to a superb finish. nt.

[nadinbrzezinski]

52. And here comes the response

[shadowknows69]

56. Republican scum fuck. Blaming this economy on Obama

Yeah, ok. Nice try.

[rusty charly]

60. Here's why they invented

mute buttons

[Mr. Sparkle]

53. Those sheets of paper some Congressmen were holding up, were House Republicans healthcare plans.

Or as we in the reality community like to call it, Lobbyists written healthcare trash.

[stray cat]

64. One sentence on one page?

[Mr. Sparkle]

73. I think your giving them too much credit.

Im sure there's a few blank pages in there somewhere.

[Stephanie]

74. It's amazing how low they've sunk.

[Mr. Sparkle]

54. Double post n/t

[rusty charly]

55. Boustany?

Sounds "furrin"

[TlalocW]

58. Representative Charles Boustanny (giving the republican response)

IS KICKING TOTAL ASS! Oh, my God! You thought Obama's speech was good, but this guy just kicked him to the curb!!!

Just kidding.

TlalocW

[stray cat]

61. OK DU - Obama's speech or Charles Boustany - I think I'll go with Obama....

[Catshrink]

62. So make good on the promise to call out the liars

Wait -- this rebuttal sounds like some of what Obama was saying. So tell me, why are the Repugs against it?

[Catshrink]

65. What was that? Don't want to pay for stupid decisions made earlier in life?

Has he looked at any of those attending the tea bag picnics? He doesn't want to help his own constituents and the other RW nutjobs?

[nadinbrzezinski]

66. Oh LV 2... have not seen those since the Primary

that said, this guy is using all the talking points, including the Guv'ment run health care... and SOCIALISM run fer them hills.

By the way, the parrots have been screeching the Communist Manifesto... I wonder what they will be screeching tomorrow.

:-)

[Grinchie]

68. "Public Insurance Option"

"The same as Automobile Insurance is manadatory". How pathetic, he speaks about individual irresponsibility while he hires Michael Taylor, Mister Unstested GMO into the food supply as a person to oversea food safety.

Our food system is headed for a collapse similar to the Industrial collapse, and it affects our health, and he has the gall to talk about irresponsibility.

Hey Obama, you can take you Plan B, recasted "Public Insurance Option" and shove it where the sun don't shine.

You are the most blatant Corporate Shill I have ever seen. May God have mercy on your soul.

But I'm sure his DLC handlers are quite proud.

[Canuckistanian]

69. Nice finish n/t

[L. Coyote]

70. We've been conned out of Universal, single-payer, health care as a human right in the USA

It is that simple folks!!

And everyone is jumping up and down, cheering on the con job!!!

[rockymountaindem]

71. Except that wasn't a possibility, ever, and isn't on the horizon

In my humble opinion it will approach the lower level of political feasibility sometime 20 years from now.

[quiet.american]

72. Boustany logic: Since there is 80% agreement on health bill, it's time to.... start all over!

Buffoon.
