First thoughts: In Obama we trust?
—
From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Ali Weinberg*** In Obama we trust? Maybe now we understand why the RNC was so fired up about last night’s town hall. President Obama, while peppered with tough questions about the issue, got an hour on national TV to make the case that he can be trusted to reform the health-care system.
