Under fire, Obama shifts strategy...

[You kip if you want to...]

If it were up to me, this speech would be extremely aggressive and he would say new things that he's never said before. He needs not only to give unassailable specifics, but also push to reframe the debate.

I just hope he tells us all why he insists on being bi-partisan when Republicans (Senator Grassley mainly, among others) are more or less openly mocking the Democrats and Obama's plan. I really wish Obama would shake this "keep it cool" image already.
