President Obama gave a very powerful speech making his case for health
care reform. Watching Republicans confused as to whether they should
stand and applaud various lines was telling. He had them completely
off balance.

Of course, the line every pundit will talk about is the GOP
congressman -- reportedly Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) -- who yelled "lie"
during the first part of the president's speech. It was so
astoundingly rude that it's almost certain to backfire and will give
the president a few extra approval points among the American public.

Make no mistake about it: President Obama and the Democrats are not
going to back down until they get this bill done.
