Obama's address to congress (continuing)

9:45: Healthcare for every American is an extraordinary and ambitious goal, but it's also just plain awesome. Who doesn't WANT that? THAT's caring. Only a government by the people, for the people has any chance in hell of making that happen. Obama might not be able to steward that dream, but at least he's going to try (by the way, my 'girl' Hillary was WAYyyyyy ahead of the curve on this)...

9:48: However much money gets spent during this administration, it's nowhere near the amount of money Bush Co pissed away on an unnecessary war, tax breaks when the country absolutely did not need them, et. al...and I can assure you one thing: this money being spent, and these ideals and policies Obama and the Dems hope to implement, are unequivocally, to make America better for Americans; that's something that did not happen the last eight years, the facts have shown. Why does no one talk about the utterly foolish idea that Bush and the republicans had to privatize Social Security, based on "the markets" - can you imagine?

Holy crap. There would be no talk of a revolution: there would have been one already. And I don't know if Bush and company would have survived it...
