Obama: I'll be a one-termer if that's what it takes

President Obama holds a town hall in Montana today, with tickets going on a first-come, first-serve basis. Cable networks will carry live.

The White House said 1,300 will atend, most general admission. Give Obama credit; these aren't Bush-style faux events as the former prez did on Social Security. Obama's facing the throngs, considerably less adoring than they were back in January.

Meanwhile, Obama told a Democratic congressman from Iowa that he's willing to risk everything on health care, even if it means serving one term.

1. That's putting his money where his mouth is...

I admire his courage.

And I hope like anything this won't be necessary.

3. I think he feels safe saying that...

... it's not like the GOP is offering up anyone even close to winning a general election right now.

4. That's pretty darned gutsy

It would be interesting to see how the wingnuts respond to THAT and see who THEY put up in 2012.

5. if that's his real position, then he best start focusing on what's really wrong . . .

with our healthcare system, i.e. it's controlled by the insurance and pharmaceutical industries . . .

if he's willing to sacrifice his presidency for a half-assed bill that does little more than insure continued corporate profits, then he's not nearly as bright as I thought he was . . .
