Washington (CNN) -- Barack Obama's journey to reform America's health care system comes full circle Thursday as he returns to the place where he launched his ideas.

Three years ago, Obama began his crusade with a memorable speech focusing on health care that was delivered in Iowa City, Iowa, the state that holds the first presidential caucus in an election year.

The president will speak on the newly signed law at the University of Iowa in the afternoon, his first event since the historic passage of the landmark legislation.
Obama's speech is part of a White House plan to begin aggressively selling the benefits of his health care overhaul and give some political cover to Democratic lawmakers jittery about their political futures, according to Democratic officials familiar with the plans.

1. Well.....

2. I trust HE does

My concern is the climate of hate we seem to be in and the rights whipping it up like eggs for breakfast. It's just the reality of the situation and the history this country has... We have to trust the secret service to keep he and his family safe.

4. Hopefully I'll be...

one of the ones he sells. I am still not totally sold on this new bill. It's very ambiguous but what little I have gotten from it I don't particularly like. Hopefully he'll be able to convince me and many other Americans that this is truly what is right.

5. he must have nothing else to do

why try to sell something that already passed ?
I suppose this is a form of selling himself, taking credit, etc.
i.e. a waste of everyone's time.
