CHECKMATE!

[FrenchieCat]

Just Saying!

[Scurrilous]

1. Now in 3-D!

:thumbsup:

[vaberella]

2. I concur! I'll tell you this, this was the longest chess game EVER. n/t

[babylonsister]

10. Hahaha! And we felt like we were playing it, too, and I don't even

know how to play chess! :thumbsup:

[vaberella]

19. No worries I used to be part of the USCF. U. S. Chess Federation, I probably helped you out. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

21. I learned how to play chess when I was very young.......

So I know when it is being played.....

although This President appears to also play poker.

[vaberella]

23. Ahhh...no wonder. I'm better at Black Jack...Poker was a weak spot for me.

He was amazing in how this was played. I noticed a bit of maneuvering as well. I was pretty amazed. Momentum was lost and then out of no where---it exploded.

[Cha]

3. Especially Bad Ass in that

speech before the Dem Caucus yesterdayB-)

[FrenchieCat]

33. That was a speech for the history books.......

Mark my word.

[babylonsister]

4. YES! Even Buchanan is sadly admitting it's in the bag, and it's a

'tremendous victory' for the President and the Democratic Party!


:bounce::bounce::bounce:

[gademocrat7]

[NOLALady]

7. Yes!!!!!

Exhaling now.

[dmr]

8. Poor guy, all he wants to do today is watch basketball!

& I bet he is going to get in a few moments here and there to do just that.

[Peacetrain]

9. No one gets to rain on my parade today!!

;) This is most definitely checkmate and game!

[jenmito]

11. Woo Hoo! Although, in chess, both sides start out with a king, I don't think their side ever had

someone equal to Obama. (To the haters, I'm not calling Obama a "king." I'm just using a metaphor.)

[tallahasseedem]

12. CHECKMATE!

I can't wait to see the 'pubs cry!

[Kind of Blue]

13. Well said! n/t

[Parker CA]

14. Hahhahahahaaaa LOVE that picture.

[CakeGrrl]

16. 3-D chess. Bwah-ha-ha!

:rofl:

[mkultra]

26. owned

[CakeGrrl]

39. I'm in favor of the OP's point.

:)

I should've been less ambiguous.

[mkultra]

47. sorry, i resend my own.

[cilla4progress]

17. Good Lord

keep him and his family safe. There are simply none other like him. Even the Executive Order. To come up with this fix, it's a true community organizer's hat trick!

I remember when he won, I woke up one morning and said to my spouse, you know, first he organized the neighborhoods of Chicago, then the state of Illinois, now the U.S. - and ultimately the world!

Hyperbole, much? ;-)

[Phx_Dem]

18. This is mindblowing, It's huge.

I know it's not everything we all wanted, but it's a strong foundation on which to build. It's a like a big old size 15 foot holding the door open. That door is open and we can get more through later.

[Fire1]

20. DONE DEAL!! Congrats to all who pushed for this bill. n/t

[treestar]

22. Finally

a bad ass President!

:hi:

[Oregone]

24. CHECKMATE!

[FrenchieCat]

34. Is that you with the diaper on? In the Oregon forest, where you can only see the trees?

You've got butta!

[Oregone]

35. You dont get around much do you?

Deliverence.

[Bobbie Jo]

25. Sweet!

:kick:

[FrenchieCat]

27. Like nectar from a flower on a summer's day!

Yes, indeedee!

[ZombieHorde]

28. We got single payer!!!!! We won!!!!! nt

[FrenchieCat]

29. Sure in the hell a whole lot closer now than yesterday......

[ZombieHorde]

30. That is check, not checkmate. nt

[FrenchieCat]

31. For Republican assholes, it's checkmate time....

Sorry.

[ZombieHorde]

41. In chess, you can not claim checkmate until you win.

The bill may be good, the bill may piss off Republicans, but the bill is not a win yet. The game is still being played.

[FrenchieCat]

49. We won.

and a new game starts.

I understand your point,
but I'm sure you understand mine....
as it can be seen both ways,
and I choose to see it in the most positive light as possible.

[ZombieHorde]

50. I have thought about this some more and I have changed my mind.

If the bill saves lives then the bill is a win.

[FrenchieCat]

51. Excellent!

Yes, it is a win, but no problem in working for more!
That's always the case. Nothing is ever perfect,
so we work on perfecting it. :)

[butterfly77]

32. oooooooooohhhh yessss.....

K&R:kick: :dem: :dem: :dem:

[NYC_SKP]

36. Oh my, yes indeedy!

K and R!

:kick

[quiet.american]

37. Cool. :) nt

[Top Cat]

38. K&R

[saracat]

40. Its checkmate when you pass the GOP HCR complete with anti -choic exec orde thrown in? Whee.

And I am so thrilled for Big Pharma that their deal held! And isn't it wonderful that they removed the premium caps? The Health Insurance Industry doesn't have that to worry about anymore, thank goodness!Everyone did so well! :sarcasm:

[Aramchek]

52. you just won't give up til taxes pay for abortions, huh?

that was never the intent of this bill, and you know it.
but you just need something to be sore about, right?

[saracat]

54. Nah I won't give up till I and ALL Americans have access to healthcare.

I and many like me do not benefit from this Bill at all, in fact it makes things worse for us, and it would have been just as easy to write it so we did benefit, but then the insurance companies and Big Pharma would not have benefited.

[saracat]

55. And as for the original comment, exactly what have you got against taxes paying for abortions?

Allegedly they are now supposed to pay for all other medical procedures! Are vasectomies and penal implants more important? I do support the repeal of Hyde, and I think the president needs to keep the promise he made to Planned parenthood about signing FOCA .Got a problem with that?

[progressoid]

42. Hardly. The game ain't even close to being over for them.

I know everyone's juices are flowing freely now, but to say this is a win is waaaay too pollyannaish.

The're gonna still be fighting this in a big way for the next 8 months and beyond.

[Xenotime]

43. We have the power. Obama is THE MAN!!

[JTFrog]

44. K&R!

[kjackson227]

45. O-B-A-M-A !!!

H-E I-S T-H-E M-A-N !!!


But, we've still got one more hurdle to jump :)

WHOO-HOOO!

[mstinamotorcity]

46. President Obama is the MAN

We protected our king while he ordered the pieces around.We captured health care and defeated repugs. Next match. We are fired up and ready to go.:party:

[Cowpunk]

48. YEEEHAAAA!
