Known for his effective use of the Internet, it's probably not surprising that President Obama has cut a video to explain the new health care reform law.

According to WebMD,

"In the video, released July 28, Obama shows people how to use a new web site, healthcare.gov, created to help the public understand provisions of the Affordable Health Care Act."

The fact that Obama stars in this video demonstrates how important he is to delivering the message -- the White House team clearly views him as their most effective salesman. At the same time, the casting choice may also imply there are few Obama surrogates capable of effectively driving such a message.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.

The Health Care Bill passed by the democrats was a big accomplishment. It will be a while before everyone realizes how really positive its' passage was for our health care system.

If Obama had listened to the People in the first place, he wouldn't have to be spending our tax dollars now trying to sell it. We didn't want it then, and we don't want it now.

..........my health care has been great for 45 years now for the first time I worry about it. Why couldn't they fix the problem instead of adding to the problem.
