23. Ahhh...no wonder. I'm better at Black Jack...Poker was a weak spot for me. |

He was amazing in how this was played. I noticed a bit of maneuvering as well. I was pretty amazed. Momentum was lost and then out of no where---it exploded.

keep him and his family safe. There are simply none other like him. Even the Executive Order. To come up with this fix, it's a true community organizer's hat trick!
I remember when he won, I woke up one morning and said to my spouse, you know, first he organized the neighborhoods of Chicago, then the state of Illinois, now the U.S. - and ultimately the world!
Hyperbole, much? ;-)

I know it's not everything we all wanted, but it's a strong foundation on which to build. It's a like a big old size 15 foot holding the door open. That door is open and we can get more through later.

41. In chess, you can not claim checkmate until you win. |

The bill may be good, the bill may piss off Republicans, but the bill is not a win yet. The game is still being played.

And I am so thrilled for Big Pharma that their deal held! And isn't it wonderful that they removed the premium caps? The Health Insurance Industry doesn't have that to worry about anymore, thank goodness!Everyone did so well! :sarcasm:

I and many like me do not benefit from this Bill at all, in fact it makes things worse for us, and it would have been just as easy to write it so we did benefit, but then the insurance companies and Big Pharma would not have benefited.

55. And as for the original comment, exactly what have you got against taxes paying for abortions? |
|
Allegedly they are now supposed to pay for all other medical procedures! Are vasectomies and penal implants more important? I do support the repeal of Hyde, and I think the president needs to keep the promise he made to Planned parenthood about signing FOCA .Got a problem with that?
