The drama over the August break was largely predictable and for the most part has burnt itself out. The death of Ted Kennedy disrupted the news feed and it’s only in the last 24 hours that the talking heads have managed to refocus on the downside to throwing grandma off the train (or a Republican if that’s your preferred option).
In the meantime an article over on Politico has some interesting snippets of information. David Axelrod said in a telephone interview earlier today in response to questions about the healthcare reform agenda:
“We’re entering a new season, it’s time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done. We’re confident that we can do that. But obviously it is a different phase. We’re going to approach it in a different way. The president is going to be very active.”
Politico goes on to suggest …
Obama’s specifics will include many of the principles he has spelled out before, and aides did not want to telegraph make-or-break demands. But Axelrod and others are making plain that Obama will assert himself more aggressively — a clear sign that the president will start dictating terms to Congress.
Thing is, an environment has been created wherein the public and standing members of the Senate have been calling for Obama to step up to the plate – to take the lead. It is difficult at this stage of the game to accuse Obama of ramming his own agenda down the throat of a hostile Senate. One could argue that this is the set piece in the game-set-match scenario. In support of this proposition I place before you a track record of Obama’s effectiveness in playing process, backed by the inside acumen of Rahm Emanuel, in a script penned by one David Axelrod.
Sept. 15 is the deadline that the White House gave Senate negotiators to seek a bipartisan bill. As Chris would say, ‘timing is everything’.
UPDATE: 3 SEP 2009
Obama is scheduled to speak to both houses of Congress on the 9 SEP 2009 during which it is being widely reported that he will spell out his expectations with respect to the shape of a final healthcare bill.
UPDATE: 09 SEP 2009
Barack Obama’s speech to the members of Congress.
Reading Joan Walsh is toturous.
On one hand she states clearly that there is racism implicit in the hatred directed at Obama …
“Finally, when Republicans began objecting to Obama’s speaking to schoolkids last week, you couldn’t ignore the racism”…
and then she goes on and on about how White Americans are not racist and his drop in support must be due to soemthing else :
ie- he is piss weak.(read the article posted by Ecky).
In truth they are feeling ashamed. And so they fucking should.
Obama is respected and even revered around the world- including amongst the West’s proclaimed enemies. They are prepared to talk with, meet with and even negotiate with this man.
He hasn’t entirely stopped the threat of terrorism, nor the wars that Bush started. Nor has he fixed the Global Financial Crisis or reversed Climate Change.
He has just influenced the entire culure of the planet.
As Ali’G would say -
Respect.
toturous= toRturous
as if you didn’t know
and now he is getting stuck into Wall Street. The Kid is stepping up to the plate

I can see a story-line developing … Wall Street responsibility, financial market regulation, healthcare cost reduction imperatives, all positioned as foundations for sustainable long term economic recovery – and maybe an appearance from Bill Clinton with a line something like ‘it’s the economy stupid!’.
I also enjoyed reading the Joan Walsh interview.
I remember a few months the media were commenting that Obama risked overexposure. Recently, it seems he hasn’t been exposed enough – until perhaps last week. I got round to watching the health care speech yesterday – he’s just so impressive. And his handling of Joe Wilson was spot on. I’ve only seen snippets of the Wall Street speech this morning, but I’m sure that will have appealed to the general population, with statements t6hat the banks owed a debt to the American people who bailed them out. (Man, did those wankers have bugs up their noses while Obama talked!).
I need to give you an update on my course on the US Constitution and the powers of the President. Last night, we focussed on the tension between the legislative and executive branches, and the use of executive privilege by the President. The lecturer focussed on McCarthy to illustrate this. It was fascinating to watch video of McCarthy when he was shut down by an executive order from Eisenhower.
Anyhoo, the real fun involved the nutbag lady. I actually missed this, because I was avoiding her, but a friend relayed it to me. Last night in the break, she explained how she had once been a big fan and confidante of Phillip Ruddock, but they had some falling out over some plan to replace the monarchy with Princess Anne as President of Britain. This woman said she was in on this plan, together with Cherie Blair. My friend thought he didn’t quite understand her gist, and asked her to repeat the conspiracy theory, which made less sense on second hearing. Hilarious stuff.
297 Enemy Combatant There will be no problem mid terms. Health care will be sorted. The Bush factor WILL return.
A small dip in the polls won’t hurt while Obama sorts things out.
I read yesterday that Obama is ahead of Bill Clinton and someone else (Bush?) at the same stage.

President Obama may well have wagged his finger doggedly at Wall St., but he just doesn’t seem to be reaching this woman.
because the lady is white, articulate, not afraid and apple pie authentic.
Here is one Ameican who is tired of copping it in the keister from bailed-out Bank of America and their ilk. She is starting to talk off the top of her head like some kind of crypto-Commie. What makes her dangerous is her potential to influence other exploited Americans into taking similar action…… boycott the Bank Gougers!

As The Constitution says: We The People……..not We The Corporations, although in U.S. Law, Corporations are people too! The money sucking animals covered THEIR keisters early. If Corps managed to turn a buck without contributing to the destruction of the biosphere, look after their human “means of production” and pay a decent divvy to their shareholders, then their unfettered greed might almost be tolerable. We would shrug it off like casual Lilliputian Atlases and get on with living, loving and enjoying life and our fellows.
But the Mammonists want it all. However, lot of smart people are starting to act on the premise that the schmucks can’t have it all because our Pale Blue Dot also belongs to Les Peuples. One of the few sounds that the greedy swine understand is the babbling brook of a revenue stream that once roared like a mighty river.

Thanks for that link Catrina. It’s an appropriately sober speech from Obama, I think. Commentary I read is very pessimistic about the chances of financial reform.
Katielou at 312
I’m thinking to myself that this is just the sort of thing that red-blooded Americans can get behind (as opposed to venting recessionary frustration on the healthcare process). I’m also wondering if opposition to financial reform would create a potential voter backlash against opponents of reform – this could get interesting and take a lot of heat out of the healthcare process as it unfolds.
Good point Cat-
if American’s can vent their anger at the greedy bastards that brought them undone it may take the heat off the fear of costly reforms that will protect so many .

* Is he overexposed?
* Is this really what American people want from their President?
* Will the media blitz backfire on the White House and Obama’s popularity?
But then the reality reporting will kick in:
* MSM in the tank for Obama.
* Fox excluded for media-fest.
* Evidence of a liberal, fascist, communist, Stalinist takeover.

Bill O’Reilly Backs Public Option (VIDEO)
Bombastic Fox News host Bill O’Reilly made a rather notable policy pronouncement on Wednesday’s show: he supports the creation of a government-managed health care plan if it provides working Americans with an affordable option to other private insurance plans.
In other words, he supports the public option now being hotly debated in Congress.
As noted by DailyKos’ Jed Lewison, O’Reilly had the following exchange with the Heritage Foundation’s Nina Owcharenko:
O’REILLY: The public option now is done. We discussed this, it’s not going to happen. But you say that this little marketplace that they’re going to set up, whereby the federal government would subsidize insurance for some Americans, that is, in your opinion, a public option?
