President Obama Speech Excerpts

There are more here, but this one jumped out as being particularly forceful:

I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan than improve it. I will not stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are. If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out.

I don’t know if calling people out is considered a “waste of time” or not, but I hope it’s done in a way that doesn’t reinforce the attack. That would be a waste of time. I think it might be better for the White House to — without prompting — mercilessly attack and discredit the enemy. It’s called seizing the initiative. Much better than constantly batting down Limbaugh’s crap missiles.

    Offtopic sorta but I really really dislike David Gregory. Hes on Hardball right now and everything he says is filled with complete idiocy.

    “If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out.”To me, that was directed at the people in the room, not Herr Limpballs.
