President Obama's full court press on his health care initiative got a big boost from the ABC network which offered him an hour of uninterrupted prime time to sell his plan to the country. Along with the infomercical Good Morning America will also interview Michelle Obama. Apparently CBS will not have Dave Letterman try any jokes about the Obama children.
The complex issue is meeting resistance from doctors, hospitals and insurers, along with some health care advocates. The dividing issue seems to be choice. But President Obama countered that "choice" is overrated and he really, really will make it better for Americans if they just let him.
Republicans were rebuffed by the network when they asked for a small segment to present an opposing view. The network said they consulted their lawyers and there is no opposing view. Everyone they talked to said Obama will take care of it and that's that.
