    I mean, seriously folks this is historic; after 40 years of trying to lower the cost of healthcare in this country its happening, and once again we have the Democratic Party to thank for it.

    In a short 9 months, we have seen the economy saved from complete collapse, a healthcare bill that is half way home to passing which has been 40 years in the coming, and the country is headed back into the light after 8 years of darkness.

    Its definitely morning in America.
