Undecided listeners respond to Obama’s speech

The World

Last night President Obama used his bully pulpit to make a very specific pitch for health care reform before a joint session of Congress … and, incidentally, the watching American public. The Takeaway’s Washington correspondent, Todd Zwillich, gives us the highlights. Before the speech, we spoke to some of our listeners who were unconvinced by the current state of the health care reform debate and the plans for reform promoted by Congress. Today, we check back in with Faith Dow of California, Brad Bynum in Oklahoma, and Troy Erickson from North Dakota, to see if the president won their support.
