Now we know alot about how the government works
Jump...
Healthcare has allowed this country to understand how our government works.
Never again, I don't think, will this country ever be disengaged again from its leadership in politics and in government.
President Obama has shown us the way.
He has galvanized this country in ways we do not fully understand yet.
The ugliness that has risen to the fore is part of the process but it needed to happen. There is no way to bring about change without pain and bringing out the ugly.
Before we can enjoy the fruits of our labor we have to dig a hole in the dirt for the seed, take time for the tree to grow and blossom before we can enjoy the blessings of that tree.
I truly believe that this last year has been good for this country even though it has been ugly.
Now the country knows where the republicans are coming from and how they feel about regular folk. I truly think that they miscalculated and will regret their actions.
I have always thought that President Obama is the 'tortoise' versus the 'hare'. He does not focus on shorterm he focuses on the longterm.
He is not interested in tactics but in strategy and he has alot of patience and fortitude.
This man is not a coward.
He has shown and this Democratic party and the country as a whole how to govern and what a real leader looks like and to boot we now know about 'reconciliation", "deem and pass", have been reminded about the process of a 'bill' and about the role of the Vice President in the House.
All in all Healthcare=civics 101. We voted for change and we are getting it. This is not some type of surface change this change we are making is deep and longlasting. Our party will never be the same, our country will never be the same, we as individuals will never be the same.
Our eyes are now open.
The last year has not been a wasted one.
Now we tie the knot.
Lets.get.this.thing.done.
