when he talked of what -- those examples of what insurance companies have done to desperately illamericans of the speech, terry that probably didn't work as well, even if it was necessary was that whole discussion of the public health insurance option where the president was kind of take -- tangled up in knots, on the one hand, he supported it and on the other hand, it's not that important, and the reason he did that was cause the democrats couldn't get together on how to pursue it before the speech. >> as a result of the speech, do you think there's going to be big deal, a big compromise? >> not with the republicans. the president has not called republicans into his out of. i think the white house congressional leaders are gearing up to try this to get it with democrats alone or maybe democrats and a few republicans. the only thing that could change that is if i believe the republican party sees that this thing isn't going to be stopped, the democrats have the votes. that might force the compromise in the final moments. >> so big speech back to business. thanks, george. as always, george
