...Few great quotes from this surreal event:

1. "If you think it's a socialist plot, then please drop out of the federal employees health program". (Dick Durbin)

*

2. "Let me just make this point, John, because we're not campaigning anymore. The election's over". (President). "I'm reminded of it every day". {McCain...}.

*

3. "My colleague, Leader Boehner, the law of the land is there is no public funding of abortion, and there is no public funding of abortion in these bills and I don't want our listeners or viewers to get the wrong impression from what you said. Mr. Camp, you said that the Medicare cuts in this bill cut benefits for seniors. They do not. They do not. So I want the record to show just in those two cases, we may have differences of opinion and approach and evaluation of the value of different things, but certain things are facts about our bills that I cannot let the opposite view stand when they are stated". (Nancy Pelosi, wiping the floor with Camp and the Tan-Man).

*

4. "Studies have shown that the people who use health spending accounts have a lot of disposable income, and WE are talking about folks who DON'T". (President).

*

5. Obama: "John Boehner, do you want to say anything in closing?". Tan-Man: "No". (Please don't cry).

*

6. "I asked a question .... and I didn't get an answer on it .... and you're wasting time...". (President).

*

7. "Somehow you didn't reform health care when you had the WH, House and Senate". (President).

*

8. "Rep Barton, I couldn't quite follow your math, not sure you could either...". (President).

*

9. "You liked the idea of an exchange until I embraced it and then suddenly it became less of a good idea." (Well, you know).

*

10. "This is great, I wasn't expecting this, I thought it would be Kabuki. The President has real guts for doing this!" (Howard Dean).

*

11. "The most patient man in the world is Barack Obama". (Harry Reid).

*

12. "Our President is a great leader". (Nancy Pelosi).

*
13. "I have been here for 30 years and i can't remember an event like this". (Steny Hoyer).

*
*
*

And today's winner:

"The President talked more than Republicans and Democrats Combined!". (Jon Kyl is hurt, poor baby)...
