Grading the Big Speech, Newt Gingrich
Grading the Big Speech:
A 10-Point Citizens’ Checklist on Health Reform
President Obama has had a month to listen to the American people.
For a month, angry Americans have gone to town hall meetings in large numbers to oppose more spending, more government, and more Washington centered bureaucracy.
For a month, the polls have gotten worse and worse for big spending, big deficit, high taxes, and big government.
But on Labor Day, President Obama gave us a sign he hasn’t been listening. He gave a campaign-style speech in which he accused his critics of spreading “lies” and failing to offer their own solutions for health care reform.
Tonight President Obama has another opportunity to show us if he’s willing to listen to us, or to his party’s leftwing.
