On edit: Only hope for meaningful health care reform.

I could well be wrong, but it increasingly seems to me that Obama needs to stand up and answer question after question at a prime-time, national town hall event. Even the stupid and loaded questions (death panels, severe rationing, interminable queues). It will be rough, and it will take prep, but he knows how to do it brilliantly.

How to keep it civil while not being so restrictive of the people's voice that he gives fodder to Fox and Fiends is another.

The good point: all the attacks have been vetted. That is, we will pretty much know what will be thrown at him.

Fight stupidity with intelligence and truth.
