It's Not Dead Yet

This, via Digby, seems to me the best I have heard Obama speak on Health Care Reform since he was elected. Do check out the original, where you can view moving video. Certainly this is the best and clearest statement in favor of a full public option in many months of vociferation, lying by the lobbyists and congressional they have purchased, and largely nonjournalism:

John Amato writes:

Fox News is telling us that the public option is dead and the do-nothing Republicans are calling for it to be gone, but in a huge speech Saturday that took place to a fired-up campaign-style crowd in Minnesota, Obama was as strong on the public option as I've ever heard him.

Listen to the crowd cheer wildly over the idea of a public option. If he's so against the public option, then why did he stand as strong as he did in this speech? The bottom line is that if the president wants it, then he can get it done.

Yes he can!
