On Tuesday, the President invited the Democratic Caucus to the White House to discuss health insurance reform.

The morning was gray and the lines were long, but I wasn't complaining. At the end of that line was the chance to listen to President Obama give a speech to more 20,000 people gathered at the University of Maryland College Park on the need to enact health reform, and to enact that reform now.

Ted Kennedy passes away before health reform bill makes its way to the President's desk but reform proponents vow to move ahead.Posted by: Jeff Davis on Aug 25, 2009
It seems that President Obama has been spending a lot of his time these past few weeks responding to ludicrous and deliberately misleading attacks on health reform.
