The Hard Sell Obama takes his campaign for health care reform on the road.

This is what Obama does best, he talks to the people via town hall meetings and speeches... Could you picture Bush ever doing anything like that? Him and his wife Laura would be in bed at 8pm...

Not to mention the fact that Bush refused to speak at public events. All President Bush venues were invite only.

And we'll have an even bigger one if Palin becomes President.

I know, you not use to a President who is a great communicator. Can't say I blame you. I mean let's face it after 8 years of Bush.

Yes he is a great convincer. He knows how to rally the people behind him.
Before he's done the rich will be handing him their money out of the goodness of their hearts.

I guess that is what happens with bad plans.....you have to go out and sell them to the people. But be assured you won't hear anything about what the plan will cost you, or a cogent argument about the pros and cons of his plan. Rather you'll hear sob stories of people without insurance delivered in a campaign rhetoric style.

Wonder if he'll have a warm up band like during the campaign?

This is were Obamabots get it REALLY wrong. You hang on Obama's every word. Have you not yet learned that the only way for this administration to get past the reality of his policies is for him to go out and talk and make more promises? Grandiose speeches distracts his flock from the real truth, and then everything is A-OK. I'm amazed that Obamatrons have yet to discover this. Do us logical folk really need to dredge up the countless promises he's made that he cannot live up to, but you continue to fall for?

Who would waste their time showing up at one of these things? I cant imagine wasting my time, on purpose, to go to an event to only be lied to my face.
