Der Leader had this to say after his speech, it was not only found on his blog, but it was also sent via E-mail

"Not the first, but the last"

I just finished laying out my plan for health reform at a joint session of Congress. Now, I'm writing directly to you because what happens next is critical -- and I need your help.

Change this big will not happen because I ask for it. It can only come when the nation demands it. Congress knows where I stand. Now they need to hear from you.

Add your voice: Ask your representatives to support my plan for real health reform in 2009.

The heart of my plan is simple: bring stability and security to Americans who already have health insurance, guarantee affordable coverage for those who don't, and rein in the cost of health care.

Tonight, I offered a specific plan for how to make it happen. I incorporated the best ideas from Democrats and Republicans to create a plan that's bold, practical, and represents the broad consensus of the American people.

We've come closer to real health reform in the last few months than we have in the last 60 years. But those who profit from the status quo -- and those who put partisan advantage above all else -- will fight us every inch of the way.

We do not seek that fight, but we will not shrink from it. The stakes are too high to let scare tactics cloud the debate, or to allow partisan bickering to block the path. Your voice, right now, is essential.

See my full plan and call on your representatives to support it.

Ours is not the first generation to understand the dire need for health reform. And I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

I have been drawn to the phrase 'I am determined to be the last' and his Title "Not the first, but the last"

To be ever so dramatic... it reminds me of another 'individual' who knows his time is short, but still presses forward with their own 'oppressive agenda'

I can feel the anger seething through that little proclamation of his. It is a clenched fist formed into words.

It’s all in the “Health Care Reform” HR3200 bill, total control by big gubmint of every citizen’s life. Fascist control of this country.

Obama “10% of Americans have no health insurance, so we must punish the other 90% severely”
