I could weep, listening to Obama and watching his speech/press conference. The last time I heard a President be so articulate, so calm, so clear, I was a child. I hope this health care reform succeeds. The moment where he spoke about some Republican statements about blocking this to break him, where he said "Look this isn't about me. I have great health insurance and so do all the members of Congress." But gods above, listen. When was the last time you heard a President make sense or talk rationally or not make this an us against them argument?

rofl...Obama just called the behavior of the Cambridge, MA police "stupid"

If it didn't hurt, I would still be laughing at that!

I was really impressed that he'd touch that incident with a 10 meter cattleprod.

I was also grudgingly impressed that (at least as far as I know... was going into and out of rooms with TVs in them for the whole thing) none of the press dragged in Michael Jackson via a question about a national prescribed drugs database.
