Obama’s health care speech to the congress

After mentioning Mr. President’s speech to the children, I would like to talk something about his health care speech to the congress. It seems that American do care about President Obama’s movement, the speech had been a high trend on search engine.
Exactly at this month in 2003, a youthful Democratic president with a job-approval rating hovering around 50 percent stood before congress to make an impassioned plea for health care reform. As Bill Clinton mounted the rostrum and looked out over the House chamber, he discovered to his horror that a seven-month-old speech on the economy was whirling through the teleprompter instead of the health care text. For the next seven minutes, until the correct floppy disk was inserted into the teleprompter, Clinton confidently vamped before Congress and the nation as if all were going rhetorically exactly as planned.
When Barack Obama goes before Congress Wednesday night at 8:00 Eastern to make his own prime-time appeal for reform, he already knows that nothing – yes! Nothing – in the quest for landmark health care legislation goes exactly as planned. Gone is the gravity –defying popularity ratings that accompanied Obama’s inauguration. All but vanished are White House dreams of Republican cooperation, with Maine GOP moderate Sen. Olympia Snowe virtually Obama’s lasts across –the-aisle negotiating partner. And despite hefty Democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate, centrists in Obama’s party have balked at the president’s proposal to create a public health care plan to compete with private insurers.
