Poll;

President Barack Obama called on Congress Wednesday night to pass health care reform. "The time for bickering is over," the president said in a televised speech before a joint session of Congress. "The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action."

What did you think of Obama's speech? Thumbs up Thumbs down

Did Obama's speech change how you view the issue? Yes No

Do you support Obama's health care plan? Yes No I don't know what it entails

Do you think Congress will pass health care legislation this year? Yes No

"Well, the time for bickering is over," he said. "The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action." "I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last," he added.

(Barf alert too late...sorry...)

Wouldn't be surprised if he got a temporary bump in the national polls, which hopefull will erode a few days later.

My heart is still singing over Joe Wilson. Gotta love him . . knocked the snot right out of Obama and took away the limelight.

I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last,"

Promise or threat? Whatever; can only say 'amen to that'.

[jessduntno]

Amen...

"White House health-care adviser Ezekiel Emanuel blames the Hippocratic Oath for the 'overuse' of medical care." (WSJ)

Instead of "First, Do No Harm" Dr. Emmanuel recommends the following (his chart:)

This graphic is from Dr. Emmanuel's article: "Principles for Allocation of Scarce Medical Interventions" The Lancet, January 31, 2009.

White House health-care adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel's brother.

Q: Do you want babies and Grandma treated this way?

President 0bama should be very embarrassed he can't carry the AOL-latenight-teenager poll respondents immediately following the speech!

[This_far]

I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last

Gibbs may have something different to say about that, though, won't he?

I guess these people were not watching CNN

Lol. ..that said; it is interesting how in language 'truth outs' itself; or at least intentions - has a psych name per MO; but cannot think of it! Anyway; Obama let's us know; often; what he holds in his lying mind; for sure.

Know how I would like to take this comment; but it shows as well; Obama's ideas for his future. Yes; no question he would like to be 'last' President; and America's first King. . .or somesuch; or perhaps; he plans to be President; just not of 'America' - at least, of the one we know and a position that holds no 'term limits'.
