My initial thoughts on health care summit

I'm at the eyes glazing over point in the discussion, which is never a good moment. But I think we learned something key during the first hour. Harry Reid and President Obama rock when they get ticked off. It's jarring how good Obama, especially, is when he's forced to fight. The White House staff needs to take advantage of that more. If this were the Hill, and he were my boss, we'd be forcing him (without him knowing it) into situations where he was publicly confronted by his critics, his blood pressure would rise, and he'd show the American people some fight, some conviction, and some humanity. Same for Reid. They're both so damn measured, the two of them together could sell an iPhone sleep aid app and retire in riches. Get Reid and Obama ticked off, and suddenly you remember why you supported them in the first place.
