HEALTHCARE FOR ALL

Or something like that.

Sunday, the House of Representatives successfully passed a revamping of healthcare legislation with 219 votes. Please note: there were no Republican votes for this bill. Zero.

The next day I started reading Teddy Kennedy's biography True Compass. Timely. It was reported that his son was emotional the day President Obama signed the bill with Ted's widow Vicki present. Understandably so...

Below are some pictures captured that day (my apologies to anyone I don't respectfully site, but I believe most of them to be by official White House photographer Pete Souza). Look at Hillary's face...priceless.

And the best moment was when VP Biden introduced the Prez and was overheard voicing his enthusiasm at what has been accomplished. Way to say it Joe. It is a BFD!!

Look Who's Back!

Howdy!

Don't get too excited, it might not last long. I've been busy with my other blog (sacrilege) and assignments for work...I know, I shouldn't compain, but I'm so good at it. Plus, the political climate has been so nasty (and only getting worse) that I've been loath to write about it (although, of course, I still spend the majority of my "work time" religiously reading my fave poli-blogs -- for now: The Daily Dish, TPM and Daily Kos - *links on my blog roll).

With the momentous passing -- FINALLY! -- of some sort of healthcare bill, my fingers are itching to post a few worthy notes.
