On the policy front, President Obama tonight endorses, clearly and unambiguously, a requirement that everybody obtain insurance -- that is, an individual mandate. He has not done that before, not this explicitly.
As Jon Stewart put it a while ago, if you're required to have insurance for your car, why not for yourself? (Right, because, in America, cars are important.)
Check out Cohn's full post for more "news in the speech." (Yes, Obama did make some.)
