Irony.

Today my window for changing my insurance opened and, I was able to compare plans.

I qualify for ObamaCare.

ObamaCare will be half the price and includes Dental.

HALF.THE.PRICE.AND.INCLUDES DENTAL

and I have to watch this mid-term election?

to push for Health Care at the very beginning of his first term.

More pressing matters, I thought.

The wars. The economy.

And then the Bill was tore up before it passed.

I was wrong then and, I could be wrong now but,

I think Obama will go down with Lincoln and Carter

when history gets a perspective.

Mostly due to foreign policy.

Obamacare is a victory though. One I see as a forward step rather than an end goal, but it's still a victory. The party should have embraced it and campaigned on expanding it.

They didn't. Many outright ran from it.

I have to wonder then. Are the men and women who scuttled away from the most landmark progressive legislation since the creation of the EPA really worth my support?
