Two Good Days for Obama

Yesterday's town hall in New Hampshire was, in my view, the turning point for the health care debate. Only the craziest of opponent could come away thinking the meeting was "supporters only," and Obama set a tone that will be hard to change. I think the Republicans are in deep trouble on this and they they have overplayed their hands so much, that they will soon be reeling.

Today, Obama's incredibly sincere and relaxed hosting of the Medal of Freedom ceremony was President Obama at his best. By choosing such a wide array of people, taking care to include someone almost every American can admire (except those craziest of the crazies), Obama sent a message that he does not intend to abandon his conviction that we are all assets. This was the best event of his presidency so far, IMHO.
