What Do You Think of Obama's Healthcare Address?
Posted by Staff, September 9, 2009 5:16 PM

President Barack Obama addressed a joint session of Congress Wednesday night in an attempt to create movement on the healthcare overhaul.

He laid out the details of his plan for healthcare and did not back down on the public option.

Rep. Charles Boustany, Jr. delivered the Republican rebuttal.
