Yeah, I know; most of you most likely do not care to watch ol’ Bambi here pat himself on the back. But, it is a historic moment. So, here it is….
The very odd part comes at the end.

The Story via MSNBC:
President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed into law a landmark health care reform bill, presiding over the biggest shift in U.S. domestic policy since the 1960s and capping a divisive, yearlong debate that could define the November congressional elections.
The law will bring near-universal coverage to a wealthy country in which tens of millions of people are uninsured. The plan’s provisions will be phased in over four years, and it is expected to expand coverage to about 94 percent of eligible non-elderly Americans would have coverage, compared with 83 percent today.
“We have now just enshrined the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their health,” Obama said at a signing ceremony at the White House, where he was joined by House and Senate Democrats who backed the bill as well as ordinary Americans whose health care struggles have touched the president.
Again, I present this, because it is a historic event. Although, I just wonder what will come in 2010 and 2012.
Should be interesting to watch.
