And... HRC Responds

Boy does Obama look unhappy...lips pursed....when HRC said that Obama "wasn't there" when it comes to proposing universal health care....

"Obama's plan would leave 15,000,000 out.."

Obama: "Let's talk about health care... I do provide universal coverage..."

The crowd seems to be Obama.

Clinton "cannot let that go unanswered."

"The most important thing is to level with the American people. Sen. Obama's health care plan does not cover everyone... He does not mandate the kind of coverage that I do...and I provide a health care tax credit...so that every American can afford it..."

Obama begs to have a chance to respond..

He gets one..

Some heckler disrupts his answer.

His answer is a little less crisp than hers.

But nice confrontation.
