Yesterday evening President Obama addressed Congress and the Nation with the hopes that he could convince the American people on his plan for health care reform. The President spoke very plainly and to the point and even seemed quite emotional during points in his speech. The health care topic is very personal for some Americans so I am not surprised at the level of emotion and passion that it invokes in some people.
