Letter From the Editor


It's Good to Be King

President Obama addressed Congress and the nation Wednesday to present some specifics for health care reform legislation. The partisan atmosphere in the chamber was palpable as Republicans squirmed through the proceedings. They even staged some outbursts and guffaws in keeping with the plot to shout down reform, a tactic that has played out in town halls.

But now that the President has laid out priorities for a bill, and likely has the votes he needs to pass it with or without Republican support, it's probably all over...but the shouting.

See you tomorrow.
