15. I'm not a fan of Sanchez's style of reporting |

but he's actually a "good guy" as far as these things go.

32. Yep, he said directly, without any question, that by year's end, health care will be reformed. |
|
This is where the poker playing Obama comes in strong and just challenges all the fools sitting at the table with him to call his bluff. Some will and will get owned, hard, and others will fold and get in line. Like he said in his campaigning in 2008, 'We won't be hoodwinked, we won't be bamboozled."

35. It is interesting to watch over time... |
|
He puts the issue out there, sits back and lets everyone and their dog, including lobbyists and their enablers, to 'publish' their pros or cons on the issue and then, when the timing is exactly right, steps back into it with a very polite but clear message saying "enough" prattle, it WILL get done.

39. Both the House and HELP bills are deficit neutral. |
