When I heard that the same parents who fail to go to Open House Night to meet the teachers who spend every day teaching our kids decided that watching the President of the United States address them was something they could not allow, I staggered.

Like many supporters of a new public option health plan sitting in the House gallery, I was gratified to hear the President reiterate his continued support for creating such a plan.

People across America were stunned that Rep. Joe Wilson could be so rude, so thoughtless, so disrespectful. Not me. I just figured he thought he was at a Democratic town hall meeting.

Obama is saying to those of us who are already convinced: I put the ball back on the field. It's your job to get it over the goal line.

The other night, Joe Wilson etched his political legacy into the wall of American history. He will forever be the poster child that symbolizes the new Republican Party.

Why bah humbug Obama's health care speech? Because it went almost exactly as predicted. Great rhetorical flourishes, but did anyone hear him say that he was definitely going to fight for the public option? No.

We're addicted to attacking each other. To the point where some of us wear firearms to town hall meetings, heckle disabled women in wheelchairs, and bite actual body parts off people.

Obama didn't simply come out swinging in his health care speech. He also made the single most persuasive case for government intervention in decades.
