This Week White House Tackles Health Care Reform, Financial Regulations

Tonight I got to spent some time with a couple of my old friends from South Florida. While the three of us waited for our ride, we quickly discussed how we felt about the new administration. Two things we agreed on were our concerns about were the way the president is dealing with entrenched Wall Street power and how important it is that the administration succeed in passing real health care reforms. We probably would have gotten around to more areas of concern, but it was a brief conversation.

I am happy to see that this week the White House tackles both of these issues. Today the president will deliver a speech outlining his case for health care reform to the AMA. On Wednesday, Obama will unveil his plans to tighten financial regulations. Roll out a real gay rights agenda and things will start looking damned hopeful indeed.
