Ted Kennedy is Smiling

After winning the Presidency in a modern landslide, a large majority in the House, and 60 and now 59 votes in the Senate, the best President Obama and the Democrats can come up with is a health reform package like Mitt Romney did as the Republican Governor of Massachusetts a few years ago, and the Repubs are still going looney toon bonkers lost-their-marbles against it . It's a wacky world......... But I still think Ted Kennedy will be smiling if/when it passes this weekend.

If I didn't have to buy crappy expensive catastrophic health insurance on the open market and see my premium cost go up 20% this year, all the while watching a Republican strategy of FEAR MONGERING, NAME-CALLING, MISREPRESENTATION, and OUTRIGHT FABRICATION against the various Democratic proposals, I might not have gotten so into it all. But here we are. There was very little rational discussion from the opposition. And after 8 years of doing nothing while holding the power in government, their final argument was: Let's start over........ Egad.

So I guess we can thank Republican Mitt Romney for providing the model for the rest of the country should the current legislation pass. I hope Democrats will continue to improve on whatever passes this weekend. The long national nightmare may soon be over!

And I won't have to pay attention any more!
