Have you watched yesterday's exchange? If not, please do. It was the most refreshing 90 minutes of political television in years.
And he can't lose with you.

I watched it. He loves to lecture others.

But my question remains, if you would like to answer it. Why was he there? Was it merely for the optics? Your initial post would suggest so. Your conclusion is that Obama whipped the Repubs in a good old fasioned debate. Was that his purpose? What happened to bipartisanship?

My next question is why doesn't he simply work with House Dems to pass the Senate approved health reform legislation? Does he need Repubs for that?

One repeating talking point: Repubs are obstructionist; we can't get anything done in Washington.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
