What NBC thinks about the #Obamercial
In a completely unbiased message to their fellow reporters and producers, NBC’s political unit had this to say about ABC’s hour-long commercial for government-run health care:
…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. Remember, it’s not about winning the debate on whether his way is RIGHT; it’s about securing the TRUST of skeptical Americans that he’ll take their concerns and go about this with care. And on that score, this is where we probably get why so many of the president’s opponents were upset. This format was in the president’s wheelhouse. Whether you agree with him or not, it’s obvious he has a deep grasp of the issue, and no doubt he only helped his cause. Of course, we don’t yet know how many folks watched. But the perception that he got into the details most likely is only a help to him, even if those details become unpopular. By the way, it doesn’t appear the president committed any news, though some noted that he continued to leave open the door for supporting a tax on some health-care benefits. Also health care remains in today’s news as liberals and progressives rally for reform on Capitol Hill at 11:30 am ET.
