Christina Bellantoni has more details on the President’s overnight trip to pay tribute to the fallen as they return home.

President Obama asks for a province-by-province analysis of the situation in Afghanistan. That and the day’s other political news in the TPMDC Morning Roundup.

Scenes from the President’s middle-of-the-night trip to welcome home war dead at Dover AFB:

CBS Radio’s Mark Knoller, whose specialty is tracking such things, reminds us that this is the first such Dover trip by any President since the Afghanistan war started in 2001.

A lot going on today, so here’s rundown for you of what we’ll be covering:

Nancy Pelosi will be unveiling the House health care bill that she plans to bring to the floor at an event outside the Capitol scheduled for 10:30 ET. Here’s what we’ll be looking for.

Meanwhile, a “flash” tea party rally is apparently going to take place near the Capitol around the same time.

Just getting underway now are House hearings on those forged letters to Congress from a PR firm for a coal industry group opposed to global warming regulation. We got a sneak peek at the documents obtained by congressional investigators.

And at the White House there’s a gaggle shortly that we’ll be covering.

So stay tuned.

We mentioned this yesterday. Fresh off what can only be called big success going after Acorn, a bunch of folks on the right are figuring, ‘Hey, maybe we can do the same thing to AARP because they’re not doing our cause any favors either.’ There are already a bunch of examples of attacks, not just alleging that AARP is supporting Dems on key health care and social insurance issues, but that it’s a corrupt, shady, nefarious organization. These things often start under the radar. So if you see more examples of this, please let us know.

Joe Lieberman is single-handedly bringing together people from the opposite ends of the political spectrum — like Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart — in mutual revulsion at his preening, spotlight-hogging ways.

Nancy Pelosi is debuting the House bill at this moment.

Our reporter on the Hill, Brian Beutler, just spoke with Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) who says the bill will be not increase the deficit in the short or long term. That long-term budget impact is a key point around which a lot of the debate on health reform pivots.

We’ll have the CBO numbers soon.

Greg Sargent has a good quick piece pointing out the foolery of those who seem to think that MSNBC is the equivalent of Fox.

From a few moments ago, Robert Gibbs describes the scene this morning at Dover. Moving stuff.

“If this is organized, we suck,” lamented one tea partier.

Tea Party organizers sent out an alert for a “flash mob” or tea partiers to crash this morning’s House health care bill unveiling. Alas, only about ten people showed up.
