Healthcare Summit and Getting the Job Done

Sorry this post is so late, as it’s been tough to avert my eyes from the healthcare summit going on today.

Watching it reminded me yet again why President Obama was such a wise choice in 2008. Throughout the day he’s been doing such a great job trying to put politics aside and hash out policy.

Perhaps nowhere was it more obvious then during an exchange that’s making headlines right now with his former rival, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ):

Indeed, he seems to be taking this summit much more seriously than a lot of the attendees. This demeanor reminds me a lot about what Eric and I said yesterday about getting the job done.

Anyway, be sure to come back tomorrow as we give our wrap-up on the healthcare summit, and what it means for 2010.

In the meantime, you can watch the healthcare summit at www.WhiteHouse.gov.

We’ll also start live tweeting the summit at @HSGWAYLABlog.
