Even if I disliked President Obama and the Health Care Reform legislation (which I don’t), I would still be impressed with this speech (in three parts, below). Not just because it is presented so well and seemingly off the cuff, but because of how well he does what he has to do. He has to take the Democratic Caucus and do his part to unite them before the big vote on the next day. He is like the coach coming in to work up the players. To the more liberal members of the caucus, he has to acknowledge that the bill doesn’t have all that they want in it and still get them to support it. To the more conservative member of the caucus he has to get them to step up and vote for the bill despite the difficulties it may put them in come election time in 2010. And he has to do that all in this speech.
The result? I think he does a great job of this in this speech. But see for yourself.
