We needed to see and hear a fighter - and we did. It's what's been missing.
My question was: would he give strong support to the public option?
I and many others think he did. He did a great job of explaining to the American people what the public option is - and that's what was most needed.
(Was it in time? That's a hard question to answer.)
I know this: The pitch he made for the public option gave us some of the means to fight for it. It got our foot back in the door.
From now on, the bulk of this is up to us - we'll need to be in the streets and at the town halls until this comes to a vote.
(Until a photo from tonight is available, the photo above is from the President's February visit to the House Chamber - it was taken by Doug Mills for The New York Times.)
