White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the administration's response was competent even though the Senate has yet to confirm a secretary of human services, a surgeon general or a director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Obama's first pick to run the Health ... Read Full Story

Easily one of the highlights of Obama's masterful interaction at the GOP "Question Hour" was his discussion of the Republican response to healthcare reform, via Ezra. The component parts of this thing are pretty similar to what Howard Baker, Bob Dole and Tom Daschle proposed at the beginning of this debate last year.
