Thanks for posting this. I have been trying to follow any good news, but all I see is bad. I got really depressed this morning and couldn't even watch the news or listen to the radio. I really hope the ACA works out and that there are no severe political consequences for Dems down the road. Any good news is welcome.

That's why the media takes every event and turns it into, "the thing that will kill the Obama Presidency."

Dems get depressed and stay home ... Republicans get angry and vote for crazies.

And to further the narrative that “government can’t do anything right.” … It was a major theme this morning on Morning Joe and I heard it repeated no less than 5 times, this morning during the 20 minutes I could stand, while driving into work.

My favorite rendition was an NPR segment with a government IT guy, who stated: “If there was a failure in a bridge or road or other infrastructure project, we would consider that a failure of government to serve its function. The building of a website is a basic infrastructure project … this roll-out speaks to whether the government can do its basic function.

I turned off my radio and listened to India.Arie http://www.soulbird.com/releases/songversation_deluxe_edition

When Dems vote, we win. When we stay home, Dems lose. It's that simple.

in the corporate media who want you depressed. For Christ sake, this is a NEW program, a BIG ONE, and one that will TAKE SOME TIME just like SS, just like Medicare, just like Medicaid, just like Medicare Part-D, just like RomneyCare, ... Nothing is perfect overnight.

GIVE IT SOME TIME !!
