Yes, He Did: Obama Makes History Again (Barf Alert!!! The leftwing lunatic is gloating)

Yes, we did. Finally, President Obama can use those words. The passage of health care reform provided the first piece of incontestable evidence that Washington has changed.

Congress is, indeed, capable of carrying through fundamental social reform. No longer will the United States be the outlier among wealthy nations in leaving so many of its citizens without basic health coverage.

In approving the most sweeping piece of social legislation since the mid-1960s, Democrats proved that they can govern, even under challenging circumstances and in the face of significant internal divisions.

To understand how large a victory this is, consider what defeat would have meant. In light of the president's decision to gamble all of his standing to get this bill passed, its failure would have crippled his presidency. The Democratic Congress would have become a laughingstock, incapable of winning on an issue that has been central to its identity since the days of Harry Truman.

This is why Republicans decided to put everything they had into an effort to defeat the measure. They said its passage would hurt the Democrats in November's elections. They knew that its failure would have haunted Democrats for decades.

I believe some of the democrats in the house are going to get tired of being pushed around by Piglosi and her thugs. I think eventually they will take a stand.

“evidence that Washington has changed”
On the contrary, its evidence that Washington(a city that’s an insult to its namesake)is still the same sell-out- America cesspool its been for decades.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

9/11 made history also. Making history isn’t necessarily good.

I see you meant the “Yes we did” slogan instead of my tagline. Sorry for the confusion. I think at the TEA parties, we should chant “Yes we will” and after we win in November “yes we did”.
