Obama to Give Details in Speech

In his highly anticipated address to Congress today, President Obama told ABC News that he would provide a much more detailed health care plan, saying that while he was still open to ideas, he is determined to get health care reform passed this year.

The president tells ABC's Robin Roberts he will not yield on core principles.

"So, the intent of the speech on [Wednesday] is to, A, make sure that the American people are clear exactly what it is that we are proposing," Obama told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts in an exclusive interview. "[And] B, to make sure that Democrats and Republicans understand that I'm open to new ideas, that we're not being rigid and ideological about this thing, but we do intend to get something done this year." - ABC News Story

After Months of the White House sitting on its hands and claiming that there is a lot of misinformation being put out, will finally try to step up and take a leadership role in the Health Care Debate.

My question is, if this is so important to the President, where has the leadership been all along. He just doesn't really seem to know what he wants. He changes with the opinion polls and then changes again when his own party parts ways with him. He changes his tune depending on who is listening. There is a drastic lack of leadership from this President.
