1. "we are just getting started"! Inspiring and charming speech that puts things in perspective
and shows the character of Obama: his honesty, wit, commitment, compassion, inclusiveness, political skill,and vision.

Loved the crowd chanting "GET A MOP, GET A MOP! lol!

6. As always, a great speech.
But getting a good healthcare bill should not take this long. The problem is, there is just so much, so very much that has to be done now. America cannot wait.

Obama could help himself by getting a better economic team, a team that is in sync with his rhetoric. Bernanke, Geithner and Summers are terrible disappointments.

8. My thoughts exactly. In hard times, citizens will be mollified by "a good speech" for only so long
without any action to follow.

If he doesn't put his feet down the path, the midterms will be a disaster.

And deservedly so.

9. did he just back the baucus bill?
I dont know about you guys but i didnt like hearing him say the "whichever bill you least like, will do this..." crap.

It sounds to me like hes folding/folded on the public option and will be giving the insurance companies what they want, which is to mandate Private insurance on all americans and not even give them an affordable public option that regular americans can join.
It sounds like he is going to use the "no discrimination for pre-existing conditions" as a means to justify lining the pockets of Insurance ceo's by mandating private insurance on americans.

Banning Insurance companies from denying healthcare to those with pre-existing conditions is NOT worth Mandating Americans to deal with the scum bags that Obama himself constantly admits will rip us off (private insurance industry).

Obama himself has mention time and again how bad they treat us and how they cheat the system left and right to deny claims, And he is in favor of Forcing all americans to deal with these vultures????

I certainly hope I am wrong about this, but I see obama dropping public option and letting insurance companies continue to screw us.
Only now, WE WILL BE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BUY INSURANCE WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT.

i HOPE i AM WRONG,
PLEASE TELL ME I AM.

“Becoming Barack” reveals an unseen perspective our new President at a time when he was finding his way, forming the ideals and principles that would guide him on a historic path.

The 55 minute DVD includes the 1993, 12 minute “lost interview” produced by an aspiring inner-city documentary Producer in Chicago that never aired. In the interview, Barack was 32 years old and 2 years out of Law School while teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago and was just recently married.

Also included is a 1990 clip from a news interview after he was elected President of the Harvard Law Review and a 1986 WMAQ-Chicago news story about Obama’s earliest success as a community activist which has not aired since its original local broadcast 23 years ago. Also featured are rare personal photos, interviews with the family and a range of Chicago area leaders in business and the grassroots community organizers who knew Obama intimately during his formative years.
