Obama On Late Show

Barack Obama appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman last night to discuss health care. He brushed off allegations that protesters of health care reform had their opinions rooted in racism and instead kept the atmosphere light, stating, "I was actually black before the election." He emphasized that times of depression and the subsequent need for change have in the past "riled people up." He concluded that what needs to be discussed, "is that the overwhelming majority of people-republican or democrat-they just want to see some common sense. They want to see some honesty and integrity in Washington. I think they're turned off by the shouting and the yelling and they expect more from the Republican elected officials."
