I couldn't find any articles about uniting Americans in the "news" section of my favorite search engine tonight. I guess the idea is passe' now that The One won? I don't like the idea of uniting "around a politics of purpose" anyway. Does that mean uniting around a common purpose? What does that mean? It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas - that have animated his political journey. Amid the partisanship and bickering of today's public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose - a politics that puts solving the challenges of everyday Americans ahead of partisan calculation and political gain. barackobama.com

Kind of ironic - declaring war on Fox News right after winning the Peace Prize.

Cavuto: A Health Care Reform Plan Without Brakes Tuesday, October 13, 2009 By Neil Cavuto foxnews.com The waiting, the debating, the arguing, the rallying, the criticizing those rallying. And this is what we've got? A health care reform plan that has left the station and apparently hasn't any brakes. Or any clue where it's going. Think about that. A reform plan that was going to guarantee health care for all, but now one that will end up 29 million folks short of all. That's how many won't be covered after ten years?! I thought that was the reason we were so hot to trot to get this thing done this year. When politicians pushing it swore on a stack of bibles illegals wouldn't be covered and now many are. Or that those making under $250,000 wouldn't be taxed to pay for it, and now many will. When we were promised benefits that would be immediate, and now likely not for at least another few years. And taxes wouldn't be immediate, but now likely happening this year. Where premiums would be lower, and now they'll likely be higher. Where vital medical care wouldn't require waiting, now maybe some waiting. Some deal. Some package. I don't care if you were for this thing or against this thing, but this isn't the thing it was billed. Although it is a bill. A big bill. For even its most ardent backers must acknowledge is a big disappointment. — Watch Neil Cavuto weekdays at 4 p.m. ET on "Your World with Cavuto" and send your comments to cavuto@foxnews.com
