...producer before venturing into the software industry. For the past few years, he has been a staple of Canada's Business News Network, co-hosting a show called SqueezePlay. He is also one of the stars of the popular Dragon's Den, the Canadian show that served as the model for Shark Tank. When producer Mark Burnett, who also created Survivor and The Apprentice, acquired the show for American airwaves, he imported O'Leary along with another Canadian cast member, Robert Herjavec...

The speech is less a recalibration of his health-care effort than a restatement of purpose. Aides caution that he will neither demand a so-called public-health-insurance option nor abandon his desire to see one achieved. He will not give up his quest for a bipartisan compromise in the Senate, nor will he vow to abandon the possible use of parliamentary procedures that would allow Democrats...
