Marathon Pundit: Illinois Republican Party statement on Obama's ObamaCare speech

I thought Barack Obama's speech was pretty good--he's a great orator, but if words and enthusiasm were all it took to be a great leader, we'd sill be mourning the death of President Billy Mays.

The Illinois Republican Party had this to say about tonight's ObamaCare speech:

At the end of the day, the president's proposal is still a government takeover of our health care system that will cost trillions of dollars and force millions of people from their current health care coverage.

Republicans are prepared to work in a bi-partisan fashion for health care reform but only when Democrats and President Obama are ready to quit forcing their government run experiment down the throats of the American people.
