39. I was trying to avoid... |
|
.... what usually happens .... I paste in whatever the WH is calling the event "speaks on health insurance reform" and someone has to point out "what happened to health CARE reform!" .... when they used to call it "health care reform" someone would say, "this is health INSURANCE REFORM!!!"
I figure that we can at least all agree that this is a BFD. ;)

11. Jokes about the polls saying "the nation's still divided on HCR"... |
|
... "well yeah! It just happened last week!"
"Can you imagine if these reporters were working on a farm and they planted some seeds and a few days later they go outside, 'nothing's happened! we're gonna starve! there's no crop! it's a disaster!" .... it's been a week folks. Let's wait and see what happens when we put it into place. Just a thought!"

19. Explains how the small business owner will be able to hire more workers... |
|
.... by receiving a tax credit (available through the BFD) that will allow him to save money on his existing workers insurance coverage.

23. Just spent the last 10 mins talking about the things that go into effect this year... |
|
... things we are all familiar with, but these things (that he has been explaining for the last year) are getting huge applause (that I dont remember hearing much in the past.)

31. Asks the GOP if they want to repeal the student loan part of the bill as well... |
|
... which he points out (to another thunderous round of applause) takes money that WAS going to the banks and puts it directly into the Pell grant program and other direct student lending.

43. The base has no idea what DU is. The base hear from the PRESIDENT |

what's in this health care bill, and the base loves this man. Life in hte bubble of DU or Daily Kos or whatever can be both depressing and misleading.

41. And one thing to consider... |
|
... he's not just saying "this is a great country, you can boo the President" and being light hearted about it. The man knows, perhaps even better than we do, what's going on in Iran, where, if you boo the leaders .... you get shot in the head.

35. "This is a great country. You're free to call the President an idiot!" |
|
... at which point I THINK someone says "you're an idiot!" ... the crowd boos ... he says, "no, it's ok, it's a wonderful thing ... this is a wonderful country!"
Says that on the way, he saw lots of supporters holding signs and ONE guy giving him the thumbs down. He laughs and repeats what the guy was doing ... "this is a great country."

He was having a "this is what democracy looks like" moment. :)
