Obama's health-care reform speech in Ohio convinces a few skeptics

STRONGSVILLE, OHIO -- Retirees who voted Republican in the last presidential election, Carol and Paul Gerhardstein were unhappy about Democratic plans to overhaul the nation's health-care system. But they showed up at a rally this week to hear President Obama defend his proposals, and a funny thing happened.

"He convinced me that we are doing the right thing. He's going to look out for us," Carol Gerhardstein said after Obama's motorcade departed in a cold drizzle Monday. "I gained a little more trust in him."

With the nation bitterly divided over proposed changes to the health-care system and a House vote possible within days, Obama has jetted three times to swing states where lawmakers are under fierce pressure to choose sides. He'll hold another rally Friday in Fairfax.

It is difficult to judge, amid one of the most intense political battles in recent memory, whether Obama is moving the needle toward greater acceptance of his health-care ambitions. But his reassurances about Medicare and other issues found support among skeptics in Strongsville.

"I was against it. I feel more positive for it now. Hopeful," said Mary Jo O'Toole, another local retiree, after Obama spoke at a community center here. "He sounded convincing."

There are tons of foreign doctors all over the world...We can bring them here very easily, as mega sized corps have been able to do so for many years. i'm sure these doctors wouldn't mind the poor conditions... :o

Great, just what we want, import doctors from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and drive out our home grown ones just so illegals, welfare scum, and lazy cheap assholes get ssomething for free. 

If you think this is even closely a good thing, I really wish you would find a very tall bridge and walk off it.

He's not a very good salesman.  He couldn't bring the Olympics home.  He can't get bipartisan support for his agenda.  He has already lost independents.  What he has demonstrated so far is nothing more than an ability to give a speech.

I'm saying if doctors don't want to operate under the conditions? they have a choice to not operate at all.  i'm sure there are many other foreign doctors willing to take their place.

Honestly, if i saw you, I would KTFO you on the spot. 

To tell citizens of this country who spent a fortune getting a medical education to make way for a lower standard of living and competition from indian and nigerian doctors who will work for spit all so the dregs of society that make of the democrat party base can get free medical care on our dime is on the most unpatriotic, treasonous, POFS things I have heard in a long time.

Good point.  If you got into medicine solely to become a millionaire perhaps you chose the wrong profession.  Dr's will still be compensated, in every major country with health care Dr's are always taken care of better than 90% of the population. 
Abandon every hope...

WTF is wrong with you?  Doctors spend at least 250k and up for their education, delay their career for at least 8-10 years and are not earning anything and you have the balls to say that? 

What dirtbags you libs are.  Seriously, this whole debate is really exposing you marxists for what you are.

The entitlement mentality of these people is truly revolting. 

I'm seriously wondering how the hell we as a nation can survive with marxists like these thinking they are entitled to everything without paying for it.

OK, someone needs to take a deep breath and go to his happy place.

Isn't that how the mega Republican multi-national corporations have been doing business for years... outsourcing jobs to China, India, and may other places around the world? If its OK for billionaires like MicroSluts Bill Gates to ship jobs out of the country, or hewlett Packard to make their products in Singapore, malaysia etc, while American paid good money for an education in IT, why is it not OK for American hospitals to hired skilled indian doctors who immigrate to the US? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

"He's not a very good salesman. "

He sold America that he was a better choice for President than Clinton or mccain... that alone is the sales job of the century. 

If healthcare passes, he'll have sold the biggest change to economy, entitlement, and American lives in 60+ years, which is a pretty big sales job too.  Everyone on getbig and FOX News decalred the bill DEAD six months ago, and suddenly Obama decided to start campaigning for it.  It will likely pass this Sat night.

Hell, he convinced Dennis Kuscinich to change votes today.

I can see shitting on Obama for a lot of things... but as far as being a salesman, I think he's a pretty damn effective one.  not saying his product is very good - but he does manage to sell it.

it was completely dead a few months ago.  People here were celebrating.  Then, the same week FOX cut the live feed to Obama's tongue thrashing of the repubs at their own event (which MSN and CNN played over and over), he suddenly started campaigning.

If there was some other event, besides his campaigning, that changed things, what was it?

I can see ppl hating Obama, that's cool... but if he is nothign else in this world, he's a slick salesman.

Take out the msm 24/7 kneepadding and Obama would be impeached within a month.
