Alexander:

this has to be bipartisan. (I think this is a good argument, if we have a bipartisan, goodwill effort on both sides. We clearly don't. But let's see where this argument goes and how Obama's team responds)

Re-earn the trust of the American people.

Obama:
kicking it to Nancy and Harry. I loved that movie.

Nancy opens with some lovely hand gestures. Bipartisan passage of House bill to lift anti trust exemption for health insurance cos.

Talking about Sen. Kennedy. (Now you are just bumming me out.)

Character of country, kitchen table,
People don't have time for us to start over

I've seen grown men cry
(I bet she has! I bet she has! Know wot I mean?)

(very sorry)

What it means for economy. People locked to jobs.
some discussion of early legislation health technology, children's insurance
innovation, prevention, wellness

Most people haven't heard about that
they don't want to hear about process they want to hear about results
lower cost, accessibility,

NP kind of rambles at times. Teleprompters aren't always bad, you know.

But making OK points.

Here comes the REIDINATOR!

Babies with prexisting conditions,


Lamar A is entitled to opinions but not facts (that is getting so old)

Make sure we talk about facts

Kaiser Foundation poll found poeple would be angry if we did not do hcr this year

(we are going to hear a lot of dueling polls today)

What is Reid's point on opinion and facts?

No one has talked about reconciliation (what?)

Now he's talking about how Reconciliation has been used for major things, often by R's. Finally a good point but not delivered well.

Bill reported out of committe has more than 150 Repub. amendments

Ok, taking abreak...
