This was George Will on George Stephanapolous' show tonight answering the question, "Is Obama tough enough?"
"WILL: “The danger is that this narrative about him not being tough enough occurs in the midst of, A.) the argument about Afghanistan, where to prove you're tough, you might want to escalate, and, B.) when he has to make a decision about the public option. One thing he could do is jettison the public option, offend his left and make himself look moderate, but can he offend his left on the public option and escalate in Vietnam -- in Afghanistan?”
Besides the fact that Will apparently thinks the way to prove you are tough is to get more American's killed, his view on the public option is telling.
I was unaware that dumping a policy that's supported by a sizable majority of Americans makes you appear more moderate?
You "learn" something new every day.

Where Is The Plan?
It's been ten days since Florida Representative Alan Grayson called out the GOP for their lack of any real solutions to America's healthcare crisis. In those ten days 1,225 Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, friends, and neighbors have died because they lacked health insurance. Nearly 45,000 people die every year for lack of health insurance.
Ever wonder what 45,000 people look like?
Yet, congressional republicans still have no plan. They still have no ideas on how to end this holocaust in America. Their only plans are more obstructionism. Their only goal is partisan political gain.
Americans deserve more than political games. We need real solutions to real problems. Tell Republicans in Congress to stop playing politics with American lives.
It's far past time for Congressional Republicans to either come up with solutions of their own, or stop obstructing those that are.
By the way, don't forget to show Representative Grayson that you've got his back. He deserves it.
