How will this be spun as the "just a few thousand bitter types" routine?

This despite the German commentariat assertions:

You could almost imagine the "Rocky" theme song blaring in the background Wednesday night when President Barack Obama -- after months of taking punches on the ropes -- stood before a rare joint session of Congress to defend his plan for massive health care reform and declared with steely eyes and a firm tone that "now is the season for action."

German commentators were thrilled by the speech. On the one hand, they were delighted to see Obama bounce off the ropes and use his rhetorical talent to re-take the offensive in this bitter debate. On the other hand, they have new reason to keep their fingers crossed that America might one day no longer be the only developed country in the world to not have universal health coverage.
