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

I was pretty pessimistic going into this, but that speech kicked ASS.


Thank you, Mr. President, for framing health care reform as the moral imperative it absolutely is.



And I'm sorry, but can anyone remember a President EVER being heckled by a member of Congress while addressing a joint session of Congress? The level of disrespect shown for a sitting President is unprecedented. (Yes, I am looking at you, Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina (who can be emailed here, and reached at (803) 939-0041, (843) 521-2530, and (202) 225-2452). Here's the name of the guy who's running against him.)

i missed it! :( although not watching the heckling probably saved me some blood pressure antics. (am reading the transcript here right now.)

I totally missed it, though I am sure the internets will do well by me in further opportunities.
