THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. I just want to say a few words about two milestones that have passed in the last few hours that represent encouraging progress for our country. The first was the historic vote the House took last night on health insurance reform. For years we've been told that this couldn't be done. After all, neither chamber of Congress has been able to pass a comprehensive health insurance reform bill for generations. But last night the House proved differently.
The Affordable Health Care for America Act is a piece of legislation that will provide stability and security for Americans who have insurance; quality, affordable options for those who don't; and bring down the cost of health care for families, businesses, and our government, while strengthening the financial health of Medicare. It is legislation that is fully paid for and it will reduce our long-term federal deficit.
Given the heated and often misleading rhetoric surrounding this legislation I know that this was a courageous vote for many members of Congress, and I'm grateful to them and for the rest of their colleagues for taking us this far. But more importantly, so are the millions of Americans whose lives will change when we achieve insurance reform -- families with preexisting conditions who will finally have insurance coverage; parents who will be protected from annual and lifetime limits that can force them to pay exorbitant out-of-pocket costs for a child's illness; small businesses that will finally be able to cover their employees; and working folks who will finally be able to afford health insurance for the very first time.
Americans like Katie Gibson, a cancer survivor from Bozeman, Montana, who shared her story with me this summer. Because of a medical condition Katie's insurance policy was suddenly revoked when she needed it most, even though she was paying her premiums. I called Katie this morning and I told her that when the bill that passed last night becomes law we'll be able to ...

Oblama needs to be locked up for ignoring the Constitution.
There is TV footage that shows Afghan insurgents with US ammo. Oblama ordered it to them. He's a damned traitor who wants us defeated. Hang his skinny ass!
The elite have tried to take the power away from the majority for centuries. Now its coming back to us. And Im SOOOOO GLAD youre pissed about it. HAHAHAHAHA
P.S.....GO FUCK YOURSELF.... SNICKER, SNICKER, TEE HEE, I MAKE FUNNY!!
The Affordable Health Care for America Act ? Okay, ....so How can I afford insurance if You have out-sourced all of our jobs, are letting all the illegals in to take the jobs left......I can barely make enough to keep from foreclosure and pay the electric bill.... And if I do not Purchase YOUR health insurance ...I get a $5000 fine and 6 years in jail? This makes me SIK!
Although the majority of Americans are happy with their health care plans, Polosi and her band of runaway thugs passed this death sentence on America and the American freedoms we enjoy. She passed it in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. Now is the time to make your voice heard to Washington. Tell your Senate leaders if they vote for this they are going home! Vote out any member of Congress that voted for this disaster and tell everyone you know!
Carbon copies. Carbon copy newspapers and brainwashing Hollywierd movies.
Hey, I read two languages. The news used to be very different. Forign language outlets I read as a kid it were very critical of American events. Those forign language outlets are now carbon copies of American newspapers, your masters.
Bru-ha-ha-ha. Conspiracies, who would have thunk? Carbon Copies.
I's Ok, things will get worse, according to Soros, not me.
@chewbaca1989 Does it always take you an hour to reply? Brainwashing Hollywierd movies? I can smell Bull-Shit from a mile away. And so you're a smart person. Ra Ra Ra! Does that mean you know everything - No! What do you want from me? Do you want me to concede?
Of course I'm not all knowing, I just know that you read carbon copy news.
I used to be called a conspiracy theorist when I said the UN is going to destroy the dollar and usher in a NEW WORLD ORDER. Now your carbon copy media is saying this is a fact with a straight face.
When you tell me something I don't know I'll look into it, thoroughly. Yes, Hollywood has been used as a propaganda arm by the government since WWII. If you can't even believe that's possible you can not concede
Hoy!!! Slow down mate. The dollar is kept artificially low so that your economy does not sink under your INSANE debt (may I specify the one spent in military expansion, not the one not yet spent on healthcare) and addiction to oil! The whole world is suffering from this idiocy just to keep you guys floating! I think you would gain from reading, if not cc media, some foreign one
