I think she "got" it....eventually.

She was humiliated - 19 of her colleagues voted present or for someone else. A record I believe.

Health care costs are still rising for families and small businesses. Our spending has caught up with us, and our debt will soon eclipse the size of our entire economy. Hard work and tough decisions will be required of the 112th Congress. No longer can we fall short. No longer can we kick the can down the road. The people voted to end business as usual, and today we begin carrying out their instructions.

Does your employer provide Health Insurance?... Anyone?...
Everything I have is paid for.

Default Boehner shows Reid the Hawaiian good luck symbol

Of course, all of you know what that symbol is and if you don't you will after you read the note he sent back to Reid. I got a real kick out of reading the note since Boehner told that group of signatory Senators what to do about their law.

Senators Reid, Durbin, Schumer, Murray and Stabenow:

Thank you for reminding us – and the American people – of the backroom deal that you struck behind closed doors with ‘Big Pharma,’ resulting in bigger profits for the drug companies, and higher prescription drug costs for 33 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D, at a cost to the taxpayers of $42.6 billion.

The House is going to pass legislation to repeal that now. You’re welcome.

A dark day in our history...I for one am not rejoicing.

You seem to libel Rep. Boehner with regularity. Can you back up those accusations or do you need a visit from some attorneys?
