What will happen when the President makes his speech to the joint session of congress?

Will Rush Limbaugh demand HIS followers walk out? I am 100% sure if he even hints of this on his Monday or Tuesday radio show his friends at FOX and Beck, Hannity, O�Reilly, etc. will add their �opinion� and big surprise their "opinions" will be the same as their GOP leader - Rush Limpballs

1. The Democrats will stand and cheer,

the republicans will not. They will applaud occasionally. Par for the course.

2. Obama's Last Chance

I fear this speech is Obama's last chance to lead our politicians towards a unified vision of quality and afordable care for all. If he doesn't get it done this time then it most likely will be stalled until after the 2010 election. I elected him to get things done and with a very strong majority in both houses he should be able to do that.

Praying for him.

4. The media will hype it up...

It will sound like the background announcer at a major golf game. The pressure is on President Obama. He has had a tough month. The left of his own Party has been questioning his leadership. But he is a master at communicating. The question is, will he be able to get some Republicans to agree to his plan? If he fails at health reform, he may be a lame duck for the remainder of his term...etc...etc....blah...blah...blah...
