Yes we did!

Today is a beautiful morning. Last night history was made as the House passed the Health Care Reform bill.
The Republicans showed themselves to be not only divisive but extremely selfish and self-serving, portraying themselves on national television in a way that was deplorable. How can they actually believe that they are serving their constituents? They have offered nothing but obstructionism and they have incited an ugly side to politics not seen since the Civil Rights movement.
Yet, despite their actions, the Democrats were able to do what no one has been able to do for decades. And this President - this black President - let's face it - you know that still rankles many - this President was able to accomplish what no one else has.
This is what change is. This is what the right thing is. This is the hope I voted for.
Thank you, Mr. President.
