...quick to come, in a statement from Wilson's office, which disowned only the tone, not the substance, of his comments. "This evening, I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President's remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill," the statement said. "While I disagree with the President's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility." Wilson later called White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who accepted the apology on behalf of the President...
...Clyburn's own outrage was a bit overdrawn. Just before Wilson's scream, Obama himself had accused his unnamed opponents of offering "a lie, plain and simple." He was responding to the claim by some critics that Obama wanted panels of scientists empowered to deny health care to the ill and infirm, or as the President put it, "to kill off senior citizens." On this point, there is some discussion that could reasonably take place, if people agreed to speak reasonably...
...most ambitious undertaking of his presidency toward a goal line that is in sight and yet still out of reach, the instant polls suggested he had indeed made some headway. In a national survey by CNN, 2 out of 3 of those watching said they might favor his health-care proposal, which was a 14-point jump from before the President gave the address on Sept. 9 to a packed House chamber.

What concerns them, they say, is not what happened in August - the near riots at congressional town halls or the lies about "death panels." Instead, it is a quieter and growing public unease that they began seeing in their own polls...
...polls saying that it's 50-50 and people are still worried about whether this is going to somehow increase their costs when every bill that's out there would lower them, or that this is going to mean that they lose their doctors, or their health care is rationed, or, you know, all the other things that they're worried about, it leads me to spend a lot of time thinking about how can I describe this in clearer terms so that we can get the health care that the American people deserve...
