Sometimes, I think President Obama is weak because he has a hard time standing up to dictators around the world when it comes to Human Rights, free speech, freedom of thoughts and freedom of identity.

- Nancy Pelosi couldn’t have announced the new House healthcare reform bill, the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962), with any more pomp and circumstance. It was certainly more impressive than the Senate’s mouse-like rollout, apparently intended to avoid rubbing salt in the Baucus “bipartisanship” wound.
