I nominate this for "fired up" photo of the year!
NYT has this front-and-center on their homepage at the moment:


President Barack Obama told a crowd of students at Arcadia University, in Glenside, Pa. on Monday that there should be an “up or down vote on health care.”


Obama Says Health Should Trump Politics

By HELENE COOPER
GLENSIDE, Pa. — President Obama pushed his health care overhaul campaign into high gear on Monday, telling a a crowd of students here that insurance premiums will keep rising rapidly if Congress does not intervene and pass a health care bill.

Beginning a weeklong offensive to prod his own party to move ahead, Mr. Obama appeared to take specific aim at political critics, including those in his own party, who have said that enacting the legislation could cost the Democrats their majority in Congress in the November elections. He alluded to letters he has received from cancer survivors and ordinary people who have been priced out of the health insurance market.

“What should I tell these Americans?” Mr. Obama said, to loud and raucous cheering from about half of the 1,800 students and locals assembled in an athletic hall at Arcadia University, just outside Philadelphia. “That Washington’s not sure how it will play in November? That we should walk away from this fight?”

Hell no! GOBAMA!

I was just thinking about the next generation of voters.

President Obama has energy, fire in the belly and cares about others.

I can't think of anybody on the national stage that could hold a candle to him with brand new voters and those that voted for the first time in the last election AND "US" of course.
:hug:

What would a "Now 16" think about St. Dennis or any of the rest of them?

It would be like looking at their grandfather or a dinosaur.

Don't forget ~ I don't make a dime off of it but "Game Change" talks about the campaign styles of McPAin HC and Obama -- the first two were " lost in the 60's" for running a campaign.
