Obama Recaptures Campaign Enthusiasm in Minnesota

Monday, September 14, 2009


"The President takes his case for reform from the heart of Washington out on the road to Minneapolis, MN, where an enthusiastic crowd shows a snapshot of the hunger all over the country."

UPDATE: The Washington Post reports new poll results indicating that opposition to health insurance reform "has eased somewhat" with "supporters increasingly energized and more now seeing reform as possible without people being forced to give up their current coverage." Overall, Americans support "government reform...to control costs and expand coverage" by a 53%-44% margin. There's still plenty of skepticism and even outright opposition to reform out there (I'm particularly disappointed about the poll results with regard to the "public option" - sigh), but these poll results overall look encouraging. Now, after decades of debate on this issue, it's time for Congress to get it done!
