The time for debate is over

Barack Obama is getting down and dirty and I am personally loving it. He is on the campaign trail, not for office but for passing needed health insurance reform legislation. He is going after the insurance companies and, to me, this should have been the strategy all along. His most recent speech is a heavy duty assault.
The polls with regard to how the american people feel about this issue or this bill vary depending on the poll source. But, EVERY poll on the issue of how Americans feel about health insurance companies shows there is obvious disgust and overall ire at these company's dealings.
This strategy by Obama is a good one. We must turn the public opinion tide so that our wavering democratic politicians in D.C. will feel comfortable coming on board to get this thing done.

way past time
Obama should have passed health care reform months ago. I do not understand the hold up. He has had the votes since day one. What is he waiting for? If he is a leader he will whip the Democrats into universal acceptance of his health care bill! It could have happened long ago and then time could be spent on other problems facing this country.
Not to mention
And, not to mention reversing the DADT (Don't Ask, Don't Tell) policy in our military. This one is an absolute no-brainer. Poll after poll after poll of the american people show support for overturning this discriminatory policy. Not to mention that it is just the right thing to do !
