What a great day
I know it's Monday and it is supposed to rain here in the East, but despite that I have an extra kick to my step because the Democratic Party and a Democratic president stepped up and finally passed health care reform. While not perfect, this takes us much further down the road towards a single payer universal system.

I admire their courage and their conviction. I know now that we have a fighter in the White House who will stand up for the American people. Now, he needs to hit the road in campaign style to explain the vast improvements this bill will bring forth.

Today, for the first time since 2008's election I truly "believe" in Change We can Believe In.

The naysayers will be spreading their poison and negativity, but they will not stop us from making this country a better place for all of us to live.

I hope you have a great day because it is a great day!

2. Huh. Your idea of what constitutes reform is low, at best.
Edited on Mon Mar-22-10 08:20 AM by ixion
Because the gentrification of an already corrupt industry has never constituted reform, in the true sense of the word.

The naivete of your party loyalists is breath-taking in it's ignorance.
