President Barack Obama plans to hit the road this week to start aggressively selling the benefits of the health care overhaul and give nervous Democratic lawmakers some political cover across the country, according to three Democratic officials familiar with the plans.

The president will take many such trips in the weeks ahead, following up on promises to push back on Republican attacks in the months leading up to the November mid-term elections, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss the emerging White House strategy.

Which cities Obama will visit were not immediately available.

One of the officials said, though there was no quid pro quo, the White House had "strongly intimated" to lawmakers that Obama "would go out and sell this thing" after they passed the health care overhaul.

3. I hope he'll take a stab at explaining why the coverage you deserve depends entirely on your income

And why older people have to pay three times as much.

4. All we can really do is try to help single payer advocates to get elected.

What's done is done.

6. Yes, you're right

We won't have a real opening until people experience for themselves that insurance companies are still fucking the public over.

5. Great! Packed crowds yelling 'Yes We Did'

Not good for the Pukes.
