Default Healthcare Summit

Too much to comment on, but I will mention this from what I saw this afternoon:

The rest of the Republicans need to shut the &%$# up and let Paul Ryan do their talking for them. McCain has turned into an infant hung up on one topic, Cantor brought a friggin' prop, and except for Ryan and the female Congresswoman (forget her name) the rest are only spitting out the same talking points we've heard for months.

But Paul Ryan... WOW... he disassembled the bill and reduced Pres. Obama's response into a stuttering reiteration of what VP Biden had just said about Medicare Advantage, a topic which had little to do the points Ryan addressed.

How old is he? I want to vote for that guy.

Anyone else catch any of this summit? Personally, I'd love to see more of these. Besides some people on both sides treating it as a soapbox opportunity, I think that even though there is little agreement on how to address the problems, everyone has been shown to recognize the issue and at least differences on solutions have been clarified.
