Game On!

Obama at Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Day BBQ, "And I continue to believe that a public option within the basket of insurance choices would help improve quality and bring down costs."
While I'm not as reassured as this, I am much more hopeful than I was a week ago that the Health Insurance Public Option will not be abandoned and that President Obama will fight for it and is actually already pretty confident that it's in the bag, which is especially heartening since it looks like a significant percentage of the public is in favor of it, see here and here.

Of course, what that really means is keep it up, contact your Rep., your Senators and the White House and demand that we get substantial Health Care Reform this year and that it must include a public option. Do it tomorrow, cause this debate is essentially over on Wednesday when Obama gives his Health Care speech.

BTW, full video of the speech can be found here and the Fired Up! story begins around 30:40. I never get tired of hearing it.
