Obama's healthcare speech

Powerline (John Hinderaker) has a very good, point-by-point analysis of Obama's address to Congress yesterday. Bottom line: "This was not, to put it kindly, a speech that was directed at thinking people."

UPDATE: Don't miss this superb article by Shikha Dalmia in Forbes: "Obama's Health Care Plan: Put Up and Shut Up."

UPDATE: Don't miss this very sensible approach to healthcare reform by the Dean of the Harvard Medical School. (HT: Greg Mankiw)

  1. When he speaks to "thinking" people, he is referred to as a socialist, nazi, alien, etc... by non-thinking people.

  2. Sure it was. As long as you agree with him, you're a thinking person. And, last night was almost entirely about catering to people who agree with him.

  3. Since we are talking politics...
    I know some people liked Joe Wilson's response but it probably
    moved about 5 million net to the other side....
