COMMENTS: Tea Party President
NBC decided to lead off its newscast with domestic politics as Barack Obama traveled to Philadelphia to rally his supporters in one final push for healthcare reform. White House correspondent Savannah Guthrie heard the President "looking to stiffen the spines of wavering Democrats" by making the health insurance industry his target. Jonathan Karl analyzed Obama's populist tone on ABC: "He hopes to tie into some of that Tea Party anger by focusing on a group that the White House believes is even more unpopular than Congress." He called it "a change in tactics." Last year the White House argued that healthcare reform "would actually be good for the insurance industry by giving them access to millions of more new customers."
