6. Looks like HCR got passed just in the nick of time.
I think Obama is going to handle all this like the pro he is.

As a bonus it shut up the teabaggers for awhile.

5. As Bloom County said in 1984:
(sorry I couldn't find the strip...)
"We need a new candidate"
"What sort of person should we look for?"
"Well, someone willing to forfeit all his dignity to a bitter presidential campaign..."
"And willing to risk personal and economic ruin."
"All so he can reach the white house and be immediately blamed for every problem in the universe."
"Gentlemen, we need a complete fool."

You seem to be one of those persons and so was Bush.

Obama relishes a challenge. I like that in a President :hi:

11. It's a tough job.
But I think they all know what they're getting into. I guess they do want the job. Glad it's them and not me!!
