COUNTED

They apparently have counted the chickens. I will take their word for it. For now.

I don't think that any of us can process how momentous a yes vote will be for health care reform.

It is a long time coming.

It will take a while for the value of it to sink in but I figure that will happen long before the November elections. The shouters might come to their senses when they see that they have been listening to lies.

In any case, as Obama has said, the importance of this is so great that it would be worth the losses to make it go ahead. Sooner or later it will sink in and, when it does, the country will be way better for it.

I have been on tenterhooks all day. Looking in. Peeking.

I guess we won't really get the count until later tonight but I am feeling a lot better about it than I was.

If and when this passes it is a great victory for Obama. It is his signature package. Win or lose. He said he would do it and he has. One year.

While he was turning the economy around!

A lot of people have griped about the process. Why he held back. Why he didn't go out for the long passes.

I have said, from the beginning of this, that he is a long game player and has had the strategy right from the start.

It is and has been a complicated process and product. The remaking of 40% of our economy.

I was reading how baffled the health insurance industry is about what to say about this. They are upset about control but they are happy about 30,000,000 new customers. They have to be in terrible cognitive dissonance.

Good. They are bastards but maybe they can reform themselves. Sometimes it takes a good execution to sharpen up the mind. In this case, the execution is the passage of this bill.

So for once lets also give some credit where credit is due. The US Congress.
