My goodness. Washington is so Hollywood. Here are the political and social actors today in DC on Washington Mall, acting the historic Health Care Reform Bill’s passing in the beautiful US of A. What a show.
In what the New York Times called “an extraordinary session,” President Obama began his speech by quoting Abraham Lincoln. “I am not bound to win, but I’m bound to be true,” he said. “I’m not bound to succeed, but I’m bound to live up to what light I have.”
“You have a chance to make good on the promises you made,” Obama told the House members. “This is one of those moments. This is one of those times where you can honestly say to yourself: ‘Doggone it, this is exactly why I came here. This is why I got into politics. This is why I got into public service. This is why I made these sacrifices.’”
Washington Post media columnist Howard Kurtz described Obama’s address as “the most emotional speech I’ve ever seen him give.”
It is totally groovy that 95% of all Americans stand the chance of having health insurance. This is beginning to feel like a civilized nation, in regards to access to adequate health care for all. That’s amazing.
