Tonight we'll have the facts on Pres. Obama's health care reform pitch to Congress. His vision. His pitch. He faced an audience split on party lines. There was a lot of applause and even some booing from lawmakers. We'll look beyond the politics and show you reform could impact you and your family. We'll also have more remarkable reports from the war in Afghanistan.

Joe Wilson's apology – is it really sincere? Enjoyed all the blogs and the show tonight. Praying for all of you and our Marines. Hurry home AC, Sanjay.
Oh now Wilson apologizes. Too little and too late.
There are rules with regards to behavior when the
president addresses congress.I guess he is being
flooded with negative responses to his shouting
and finger-pointing. The damage is done, just look
at the photo.
nite all. till next week.
Goodnight everyone. Great show tonight.

Awesome Hubble photos.
Love Love the space photos!
So how much did Duvall have to pay those women?
I am embarrassed for the Congressman who "Heckled" the President of the United States. What a SAD display!. The GOP should be ashamed.
AS for these constant wars, go in.. blow it to HECK and start over again. There are casualties of war and I am tired of it being our men and women, mothers, children, husbands and fathers. We have suffered enough. If they have to be there to support the new democracies, then let them do what they do best. "Kill the bad guys and get out"
Good reporting AC360 team...night everyone!
@Rebecca Cannon... Thank you for sharing your letter.
Sounds like Sanjay is in for a surprise.
That was a good apology.
Looking forward to those photos from Hubble.. the Universe is just amazing.
Awesome reporting....touched my heart, as I have a daughter and
son-in-law both serving there now, too. You, Sanjay, and your staff bring the war and its aspects right to us-I thank you, sir, and applaud your efforts and bravery!
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families of troops, especially the fellow bloggers... you are amazing people and hope your wait to reunite your families is short.
My boyfriend is in the 1/5 and I just wanted to say thank you for showing me what its like for him over there! Without letters or phone calls frequently its easy to feel disconnected. It's so different to see it rathen than just read or hear about it.
I am really enjoying the show tonight.
I've always been captivated by Hubble photos. Our universe is so vast and magnificent!
