My favorite part: (between 16:30 - 17:30)

Olbermann: "...And it speaks to something fundamental about the nature of any government, we all agree - conservative, liberal, everybody in between that the primary function of any government is to protect its citizens. We usually think about this in terms of the Department of Defense, it now becomes, as the world situation becomes in many respects, more secure., the primary part of that is what happens in hospitals. If you've ever spent time a lot of time in hospitals with people and talked to people in waiting times as I did when my dad was sick for seven months in a surgical ICU, I saw everybody in that hospital. I saw patients, I saw families trying to decide whether or not they could afford the same care that my dad as a vet got for $800.00 and anything that moves the ball towards this primary role of our government: protecting its citizens, will be viewed in a generic sense or general sense as a positive thing and those who stand against it will probably suffer, if not in the short term then in the long term."

Keith absolutely hits this one out of the park!!!!
