President Obama Addresses The Nation in Primetime On Health Insurance and Health Care Reform
Last night, President Obama held a press conference in primetime to address all concerns about the health care and health insurance reform bills that are being drafted in both Houses of Congress. The first reactions from news analysts and political pundits was that the president didn’t offer much clarity on what was to come and left many of the critical details, such as how we were going to pay for it all, more or less up in the air. But if you don’t listen the political pundits, this press conference was probably nothing short of a success for the president. What most pundits never talk about is the fact that the average American doesn’t pay attention to them at all. Continue reading
