Some Responses to the President's Address

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) appeared on Countdown with Keith Olbermann to discuss the speech and said that he thought that Obama's speech was the best one he had ever heard in his entire time in Washington. He went on to say that the time to act is now and that a bill with a "good strong public option to the President before the end of the year." He also made a connection between the right wing and their financials to the insurance companies and inferred that it might impact their actions on the bill. I completely agree with him. Sometimes, it is hard to bite the hand that feeds you (or at least your campaign fund).

Elizabeth Edwards was also asked her opinion on the speech and she said that it may very well be one of the best speeches ever given to a joint session of Congress. She also said that she agreed that the President saying that it will be illegal for insurance companies to deny insurance because of pre-existing conditions will be the tipping point to bring even more Americans on board with health care reform.
