Republican strategists and their media rabble-rousers cleverly thought they could dispatch their shock troops this month and kill health reform once and for all.
Instead, they're on the verge of generating what they've been desperate to avoid -- an urgent, national, rational conversation on how to make the health-care system fairer and more affordable.
To be sure, many details of health reform are still to be ironed out. But in the end, what is likely to emerge from this conversation is a health system that looks more like what President Obama has in mind than what Republicans have been peddling these past 15 years without any visible signs of success.
At his town hall meeting Tuesday in Portsmouth, N.H., Obama reminded us of the deft political touch and mastery of policy details that won him the presidency. He and the good citizens of southern New Hampshire have set the standard against which other politicians and citizens will be judged.

Apparently the American Medical Association has weighed in on the new proposed Universal Medical Care planned....
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.
Ophthalmologist considered the idea shortsighted.
Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. However the Orthopedists had a bone to pick about the plan.
The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, as did the Pharmacists, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the ASSHOLE in Washington.
Why is it that all of the press pussies think they are clever tough guys. If we can’t crush this lot , we deserve to lose..
lol.
This guy is a loon. Americans saw right through Obama’s trickery today. An orchestrated puppet show.
You really shouldn't toke up just before "writing" this mental diarrhea.
Behold, a town hall filled with Obama supporters and Obama not answering a damn question straight.
Really Kinda disgusting when they start to gush.
Slavery is wrong no matter what or who is the slavemaster. Are you having fun yet Obama?
In Friday’s Washington Post business section, columnist Steven Pearlstein smeared people who oppose ObamaCare as “political terrorists.”
This Pearlstein guy must be groveling for a Pulitzer.
I don’t think liberals actually know how retarded they sound. Seriously.
It’s a 1st grade class and everyone is talking like little children to each other.
I like the part about “deft political touch”. ROFL!!
‘Ol Steven must have found some really good weed...
Excellent. Just sent it to several RN friends and an anesthesiologist friend. What a riot!
They wish.
This puppy is going down in flames, and they’re trying to salvage anything they can get.
Keep the bullets on target and fix bayonets!
“deft political touch” Yeah, right. It was so obvious in the post office remark. Oh, wait ... he said deft, not daft. Nevermind.
Delusional.
The left is still attempting to propagandize the whole stinking mess as Dear Leader’s message falls flat.
Makes you really understand why this rag is called the Washington Compost.
What passses for journalism anymore is a joke.
Everyone has done the job for these journalists and exposed the fakery of the Obama townhall.
