In less than a year in office he successfully pushed through the beginnings for Health Care Reform. Not bad. Not everyone is happy with it, but that is what he ran on, compromise. The sign of a good compromise, both sides aren't left happy. We really have to take a step back and realize that if Obama could have written the plan himself, it would look different. With the tragic death of Teddy, and the death of Joe Liberman's morality, it had to be pushed in any way it could. We have a health care package. It is something that needs to be built up over time before we see universal quality healthcare, but we are finally on the way. As an aspiring Historian (working toward my PhD), I think we will look back on this as the beginnings of a better system that will unfold over time. I would go on, but that seems to be the hot topic, so I'll leave it at that.
I'll raise a glass to President Obama tonight!
