"& if the bill that ends up on my desk does not meet the test of REAL REFORM, I will SEND IT BACK...

[Faryn Balyncd]

"....until we get it right. We've got to get it right."



Wonderful speech.



But it's too bad the President did not make the same statement regarding HEALTH reform (which he labeled "health insurance reform"), that he did Re: financial reform.



(& it's a shame Single Payer advocates weren't invited to give the input solicited from the Republicans tonight.)

1. I wondered the exact same thing. Why didn't he say this same thing

during health care reform debates.

"Don't send it to me without a strong public option or I will VETO it and send it back."

But he says it about spending cuts. Oy.

2. My thought too

it should have been said for healthcare.

4. I caught that too.

He called it health insurance reform instead of health care reform and didn't really put his foot down for the public option at all.
