You know the kind of smile. Like you just ate
the last piece of pie and glad your glutton brother didn't get it this time.
There was plenty of things about the HC bill I did not like but it is a start and you eat an
elephant one bite at a time. So
when I saw their heads starting to explode and
them showing their butts in front of the world,
then the smile was a smirk we got all too used to
when W was in office. They smirked, and trotted
out their tax cuts, started wars, called us
everyone unpatriotic, dared us to protest and
they packed the courts.
They called the police on our elected officials in 04 when they tried to show up for committee
meetings. Locked out.
Now the pendulum has swung the other way and although I feel, President Obama has reached out
to this bunch of thugs waaaaay too much, I felt
some satisfaction as I did on election night when
those three passages of the health care bill
passed. Everyone had more than 216 votes.
As the last one passed, I felt that smile, the smirky one start in my eyes and then working down
all across my face. I had waited years to see
that bunch feel the heat and helplessness of
hating a passage of legislation as much as I did
with the Bush Tax cuts and the War in Iraq.
If that Health care bill had only thing like pre exisiting conditions in it, I would have still felt good because those jerks were not ramming their own
little cares down my throat and making us dread
getting up to face another republican cow shrieker saying if we didn't support Bush or the war we were unpatriotic.
Guess what Boner, you are in the minority.
Guess what..you went down in history with a bunch
of yahoos yelling tax cuts.
Guess what, I still have that wicked smile and
enjoying every bit of it.
On to the senate and let's keep smiling.
