History is being made! Joe Biden just said so, which is a gaffe. “Today, America becomes a whole lot wealthier,” says Joe Biden! “Because they’ll be a whole lot healthier.” Is that even constitutional? What a crowd of insurance executives they’ve assembled in the White House. “Please have a seat,” says Obama, so that’s what we will do, as we liveblog this thing.
11:35 AM — What a boisterous gang of communists!
11:37 AM — “A host of desperately needed reforms will take place right away.”
11:38 AM — And what’s the first of those things? Tax breaks for fat-cat small businessmen!
11:39 AM — Kids with various horrible pre-existing conditions will get insurance this year.
11:40 AM — “This year, insurance companies will no longer be able to drop people when they get sick.” Fake cheers from this gang of insurance stock-jobbers.
11:42 AM — Woo-hoo, we’re all going back on mom & dad’s insurance!
11:42 AM — And hungry seniors will get $250 for a supply of Donut Holes.
11:43 AM — Tax cuts for middle class health care! This sounds good, unless you’re super poor. Wait, is that what the Teabaggers are so upset about, being poor?
11:44 AM — It’s all paid for, even the donut holes!
11:45 AM — Somebody just yelled “baby killer!” at Obama. Oh wait, they actually said “Yes we did!” in response to Obama saying congresspeople have “taken their lumps” over the health care reform freakout.
11:45 AM — These lumps will be treated under the new socialist health care congress people already have.
11:46 AM — Yeah Hell Yeah give it up for Nancy P., the lady with the Hammer Time.
11:46 AM — And Harry Reid, too, who is like a Nancy Pelosi with no balls.
11:47 AM — Hey what did Biden say that cracked everybody up so much, when this was starting?
11:48 AM — “Today, I’m signing this bill on behalf of my mother, who battled insurance companies even as she fought cancer to her dying day.”
11:48 AM — All these sick people being named will be burned in effigy by the Teabaggers and then eated, for real, by Rush Limbaugh.
11:49 AM — Hey that Natoma gal again, hasn’t she been sent back to the Soviet Union yet?
11:49 AM — Obama is also signing this bill for famous Republicans such as Bill & Hillary Clinton and Teddy Roosevelt.
11:50 AM — And Teddy Kennedy’s widow and his kids are there. Ted Kennedy is rolling in his grave … rolling with laughter.
11:52 AM — “Remarkable and improbable,” that’s how Obama describes this thing passing, finally, in the form it has passed. “Easy to succumb to the sense of cynicism of what’s possible in this country.”
11:52 AM — “We are not a nation that scales back its aspirations.” Well, not always.
11:53 AM — Speaking of, these confederate states planning to sue the United States over this health care law? The last time these same confederate states sued the U.S. over sweeping new federal legislation, it was over civil rights.
11:54 AM — Thanks and high-five and keep on rockin’ in the free world, raise your hands for these old people from Congress, and we will sign this bill, the end.
11:55 AM — Fox News is running the live video without commentary. And the Dow Jones index keeps going up, as does the NASDAQ and the S&P. Stock markets love the health care reform, just as the stock markets loved the health care reform yesterday. Why so communist, stock markets?
11:57 AM — HE IS SIGNING IT DO YOU FEEL BETTER YET?
11:57 AM — Congratulations, America. You are now like Europe in the 1960s.
11:57 AM — Nancy Pelosi kept the lucky pen!
11:59 AM — Yowza, Fox News says Biden possibly mumbled “an F-bomb” before Obama walked out? Ha ha ha, Joe Biden.

Who will be adjudicating the ceremonial First Death Panel?
Oh, Joe. You’ve done it now. Vice Presidents layin’ down rhymes is unconstimatuional. We have to start this whole health insurance reform thing all over now.
Look it up.
LOVE the Montauk Monster – much less of a cretin than Justice Roberts
Is that a paw bump he’s doing up there?
Can Barry make a signing statement, like Shrub used to make? Something along the lines of “And I’m granting a public option by executive order, too.”
Who gets the pen after it’s signed?
today we are all aquatic badger thingies.
[re=537805]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: I think one gets shoved up Glenn Beck’s ass.
After signing, Barrack should find some of the teabagger protesters and ran that pen down their throats.
[re=537802]ella[/re]: no, it’s a terrorist flipper jab.
mmmmm….. donut holes.
[re=537802]ella[/re]: It is, according to Fox, a terrorist paw jab.
[re=537805]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: You mean who gets one of the apparently 19,000 pens he’s using to sign this thing…
My daughter, who was diagnosed with leukemia at age 4, no longer has a pre-existing condition. Suck it, teabaggers.
everyone gets a pen!!!
Ted Kennedy’s widow is hot.
Forcing that adorable boy to stand there in a little suit, because of his welfare queen mother who couldn’t turn enough tricks to keep herself alive. Worst President Since Hitler.
[re=537820]bored with gravity[/re]: It’s about time.
[re=537797]Clamps[/re]: Not sure who’ll be adjudicating, but Snowbilly Moosefucker is likely to be first in line to be Carouseled.
Is now when the Rapture people fly away?
Gary Coleman looks remarkably good.
Wow, it’s done. I really, truly thought I’d never see the day. Fuckin’ pathetic when you think about how much effort it’s taken to get something so obvious passed — nevertheless, it’s still amazing. Now come on, Senate — get the rest of the thing done.
“We are not a nation that scales back its aspirations.”
I hate to break it to you, Mr. President, but scaling back our aspirations and keeping the overlords safe from the people is the exact reason the Senate was created. Sometimes, like now, it’ll break down and we’ll actually get something good; but there’s a reason all those countries with parliamentary systems have already had universal health care for many decades.
[re=537804]Cape Clod[/re]: Signing statement: “And suck it, Glenn, Rush, Bill, Sean, and all the other douches at Fox.
[re=537810]Zadig[/re]: Ah,yes. (Sad to say, when I can’t tell a flipper from a paw, I need to get out more.)
A grey day in DC with regard to weather, but somehow it feels like a sunny, happy day.
“Please have a seat,” says Obama, “Don’t worry about those uniformed men with guns.”
MONTAUK FREAK/SANTELLI ’12. Actually, that’s redundant; they’re one and the same.
In a gesture to mollify the Repugs, Obama has nuked Belgium.
[re=537820]bored with gravity[/re]: It’s the end of an era — a barbaric, stupid, inhuman era.
[re=537832]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I should qualify that and say there were times I thought I’d never see the day. Most before President Obama was elected, though some afterwards.
[re=537824]Mr Blifil[/re]: Whachu talkinbout, Willis?
Huzzah US America
Now get working on Single Payer.
Freud tells us there is no Harry Reid. There is just a little Nancy Pelosi without a penis.
[re=537804]Cape Clod[/re]: Shhhhh! We’re trying not attract too much attention to that part of it.
[re=537797]Clamps[/re]: Better: and who will be the first to be adjudictaed? My nominee: Randy “baby-killer” Neugebauer, or an actual baby.
Would the intro have been better if given by Palin? Discuss.
[re=537820]bored with gravity[/re]: I wish you and your little darling the very best care offered now under this law – if all turns out well, it will be a testimony to why I have spent my life as a libtard! 4th generation libtard at that!
Gah…Sen. John Barrasso needs to have something rammed down his throat right now.
[re=537820]bored with gravity[/re]: Here’s to you and daughter. [sloshes down a huge gulp of Freedom Beer] And also too besides: I can no longer be turned down for health insurance because I had breast cancer that one time. So SUCK IT T-BAGGERS AND OTHER AWFUL STUPID PEOPLE. [sloshes down another huge gulp of Freedom Beer!]
Barry is the man, but Nancy Pelosi has the biggest swinging ovaries in the House!
Okay. So there’s a lot to hate in this bill, but because of it, my friend’s autistic kid who was born with a hole in his heart won’t be lifetime-limited this year, so hooray!
[re=537820]bored with gravity[/re]: Bravo.
[re=537832]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I’m mainly amazed at the turn in the narrative. It looks like Dems are going to be allowed to declare a kind of victory, whereas I thought the demonization would go immediately off the charts. The cover of the NY Post was pretty amazing yesterday “To Your Health.” Jeebus.
In fact I think the “repeal” movement from the teabaggers is really about face saving. When people start to figure out that seniors will be subject to a no worse system than already exists and that granny won’t be murdered, the teabaggers will step forward and say, “Well, because of our efforts Nobama had to ‘repeal’ the program dedicated toward murdering the aged.”
[re=537831]BigDupa[/re]: He cleans up real nice.
I would love a reference on the civil rights suit.
Are there any guidelines or rules on this “ram it down their throats” provision? Can we just pick a teabagger at random, and commence to make them choke on dick?
[re=537859]AxmxZ[/re]: I think that’s part of what’s driving all the troglodytes insane: That this got accomplished with a black man and a woman in charge of things. Woo hoo forever!
Huzzah! Now about PET health insurance reform…my cat has some serious need of teeth cleaning and I would rather not have to anesthetize her with old bottom shelf vodka to save cash.
[re=537857]MzNicky[/re]: You need to express something stronger. From lyrics once sung by Grack Slick: Up Against the Wall, Mother Fuckers.
In the photos, I can’t decide who is has a bigger grin, that cute little boy or Joe Biden.
[re=537870]S.Luggo[/re]: Oops. “Grace” Slick. Grack is her cousin.
[re=537822]Lucidamente[/re]: Really? What about his son? Reminds me of Elmer Fudd with red hair.
[re=537851]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Ooop! My bad.
[re=537820]bored with gravity[/re]: Thanks for reminding me that this does more than just piss off idiots.
[re=537873]S.Luggo[/re]: From now on she will always be Grack to me.
Our long national nightmare is over. Break out the Cristal!!
[re=537879]MzNicky[/re]: Today, we are all Grack.
[re=537860]brown_recluse[/re]: I made the mistake of going to the doctor for joint pain and coming out with a diagnosis: an auto-immune disorder, which is impossible to shake as a pre-existing condition and can amount to fucking *anything* later in your life. (Boner quit working? probably the lupus, sorry…) At least now I can change jobs, yes?
Okay – I know it’s super tacky to post a link (esp. to Kos) but Imma do it anyway. Let’s send Nancy flowers for her birthday… she deserves something nice and it will piss off teabaggers if she gets thousands of roses. (We managed to get 4,500 to Boxer once.)

OMG. The lovely Argentinian dentist who gave me a black market root canal gave me three shots of Popov! It works!
For the second time in as many nights, MSNBC contributor Howard Fineman has invoked Barack Obama’s Kenyan heritage in comparing him to a marathon runner over his persistence in getting health care reform legislation passed.
“How did it happen, in a minute?” Keith Olbermann asked Fineman on MSNBC’s “Countdown” Monday night.
“Persistence by President Obama, who comes from a country of long-distance runners and was one,” Fineman said.
This is why the Birthers are so scared of Barry. They know his Kenyan marathon heritage will always wear them down.
[re=537882]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: I had cancer in 1994, but kicked its ass. After the “10 year survivability” mark, you are considered cancer free to everyone – EXCEPT insurance companies. Now to Humana – SUCK IT FUCKERS!!!
now maybe i can get some coverage for my scaling back
[re=537862]Mr Blifil[/re]: Well if you want relief from the unbridled happiness, both Drudge and TheFoxNation.com are partly leading with down poll numbers for President Obama, Pelosi and Reid. Of course, these results are all from before Sunday, but when you’re determined to pee on the Yule log, you don’t let details like that bother you.
[re=537890]Cape Clod[/re]: Hawaii or Kansas? Which country, again – Africa? I is confuse – I need some help from Snowbilly to git this???
[re=537877]Cape Clod[/re]: [re=537825]Ken Layne[/re]: [re=537845]SayItWithWookies[/re]: [re=537855]GoinGreen[/re]: [re=537857]MzNicky[/re]: [re=537861]S.Luggo[/re]: Thanks to all! and to make it even better, by following Obama’s brackets picks, I’m No. 1 in the office pool. There’s nothing that man can’t do. Such as, and also.
[re=537804]Cape Clod[/re]: Under the pubic option – is lasering the bush considered preventative or corrective?
[re=537890]Cape Clod[/re]: Plus he did it barefoot because…. Kenyan.
[re=537890]Cape Clod[/re]: Yes, Howard those folk run a lot– and they got good rhythm–so how’s about talking about Obama’s good political timing as well?
I’m late, but I ‘m here for the second, funnier signing whatever. The one where he’s taking shots at the Republics. I like this one better. Esp. since I was doing some shit to get started in online weight watchers during them other and couldn’t be the wonkerat–WAIT! Does this mean Hopey is going to pay for money I pony up to lose weight when I could feed half the people in Port Au Prince for the same amount of money?
Because Americans are fat.
Everybody’s happy. Except the tea baggers. And Jane Hamsher.
I feel so socialist now. Ah.
Where can go to get in on the death panel action? I’ve got a list.
And I know this is armageddon in red states for anyone who’s even registered as a Democrat. But it seems like even dumb okies would get a political ad about “don’t insure you’re 22-26 year old slacker kids too fast. The Repubclicans are going to take away your rights. And include the kiddies with pre-existing conditions.
And old fuckers buying their own goddam donuts holes. How is that even healthier? Because it keeps them from eating the entire donut?
[re=537894]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Take a page from the sports-talk book of common wisdom: Winning=popularity. I keep hearing on ESPN that when Dickhead Woods gets his first win we’ll all love him again. I think the same will be true of HCR and Obama. It may be some nasty sausage but this is a win just the same and in two years it’ll turn out that everyone was for it before they were against it.
Wow, Biden dropped the F-bomb in a private conversation. That is totally worse than getting drunk and shooting someone in the face. Impeach!
Sounds like Gaffey Joe made it through with only the one overheard gaffe of “Hey, this is a big f..king deal.”
[re=537808]4tehlulz[/re]: Why reward him now?
[re=537884]rina[/re]: Wow, I had no idea she was 70. I wouldn’t have guessed a year over 50. No snark.
[re=537917]Ducksworthy[/re]: It IS a big fucking deal, no gaffe there! Sometimes “FUCK” is the only word that works – it’s a regal word and the only one that can carry the weight properly. That, and “Nancy’s balls”.
[re=537913]Ruhe[/re]: I’m sure Fox and Drudge won’t be going banner headline with the poll numbers from today on. And yeah, I’m definitely looking forward to the GOP running this fall on an agenda of making millions of Americans uninsurable again — that’s something that’ll resonate with the common people.
[re=537914]glamourdammerung[/re]: Poor Joe, that hoof-in-mouth disease of his was a pre-existing condition.
[re=537875]Pandy[/re]: Just saw Melody Barnes interviewed on the MSNBC; she’s even hotter than Vicky.
I so deeply love Joe Biden, and now I know that, in his role as my pretend boyfriend, he will talk the dirty talk to me…he is my dreamboat.
Then, Joe Biden yelled Pull My Finger!
[re=537907]DustBowlBlues[/re]: This government’s rampant totalitarianism is making Americans fat.
Europe in the 60′s? Sweet! We can go swinging out on Carnaby Street, pick up some Mod clothes, hang out with Mick, and check out the Who. Then we can go to France and drive around in convertible cars, smoke cigarettes and bang sultry French women and then head on off to Rome to party with dwarfs and Circus Freaks.

[re=537931]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]:
I saw that your governor is none too pleased with the Attorney General over this.
[re=537809]JMP[/re]: I think the up-the-ass pen shoving honors should go to Anthony Weiner, (D-Hotinsmartjewayistan).
Now that the health care debate is a done deal, he will no longer be threatening David “You’re Welcome” Shuster as my favorite pretend boy friend.
What? You mean the old medicare-aged man won’t be bringing home those tasty donut holes tomorrow? Oh, well. Probably not much better than government cheese.
And Shuster better quit saying “essentially” in every other sentence of Weiner may overtake him, after all.
[re=537921]GoinGreen[/re]: I think FUCK is the best word in the entire English language: verb, noun, adjective, adverb (ok, I know that’s a stretch) and, as George Carlin always said, a great substitute for the word “kill.”
“Fuck the Ump! Fuck the Ump!”
[re=537925]Limeylizzie[/re]: Me too. And he’s a potty mouth. But he’s absolutely cockfucking right. It is a big fucking deal.

C. Their high-risk, mobidly obese, Xbox-playing cheezdoodle/Big Gulp hoovering 18-27 year-old kids
It’s all about the X, baby!
[re=537939]DustBowlBlues[/re]: Weiner said on The Daily Show that if he’d run against Mike Bloomberg, “I’d have beaten him like a rented mule.” And then he made Peggy Noonan cry on Morning Joe. Can’t imagine what he’d do with one of those pens.
That hopey changey stuck that Palin asked about the other day? I’d say it’s going well, thanks.
Just overheard a bunch of Arkansas politicians (yes, Arkansas) at lunch talking about how the Republicans are in for a very rude awakening come November.

[re=537942]El Pinche[/re]: Thank God Biden was there to explain what a big fucking deal it is to Obama.
[re=537917]Ducksworthy[/re]: Apparently someone else thought the [re=537942]same thing[/re].
He’s no smarty pants, fancy Constitutional scholar, but he’s our Biden, our own “common sense” patriot. (make no mistake , he’s not Palintard)
Cool. Now where do I sign up to get on one of those Death Panels?
Is this when the turrurists win?
But seriously, how cool would it have been for Obama and Biden to turn to the camera and go all Degeneration X with a crotch chop.

Does anyone know this? Is the Holy Healcare Reform Bill being named a special name, like after Ted Kennedy? Or is it just being called, “Spit On Me? I Spit On You! Healcare Bill” Just wondering…………
[re=537951]geminisunmars[/re]: We didn’t hear Obama. “No shit, muthafuckah. Now excuse me, it’s show time.”
[re=537939]DustBowlBlues[/re]: In pretend-boyfriend land you get to have as many pretend boyfriends as you want. For example, I have two: Rahm and Barry. The possibilities are endless.

Isn’t Harry Reid the least embarrassed that Pelosi is wearing his nads for earrings? She’ll seize the initiative and herd the cats. He’ll just bumble, stumble and mumble and then let the opposing party tie him up in knots.
Bored With Gravity:
I am so glad to hear that! Thanks
[re=537977]geminisunmars[/re]: When I read El Pinche’s comment, I thought I had finally proven the “squirting” myth – but, alas, I am a dude – so I guess I just pissed my pants!
[re=537963]El Pinche[/re]: I kinda pictured Obama walking around the White House yesterday and stopping at portraits of FDR and LBJ to say to them “that’s right, whose a bad motherfucker now.”
[re=537983]Joshua Norton[/re]: I’m going to give some credit to Reid on this too as he somehow did manage to get something passed despite having to deal with preening shmoe’s like Lieberman and spineless nobodies like Landreiu, Nelson, and Blanche Dubious Lincoln. The fact he’s not an alcoholic right now is a pretty amazing fact.
[re=537942]El Pinche[/re]: He looks as if he smells so clean and talks so dirty, that is perfection.
[re=537970]MzNicky[/re]: But that would make Rushie Limbaugh right.
[re=537982]bored with gravity[/re]: Dude, you ain’t kidding. I’ve been damn lucky for 12 years with his coverage, but I know so many people who’ve been hosed over pre-existing conditions, lifetime caps, annual caps, and just plain getting fucked by the insurance companies.
Plus the disabled community got the CLASS and Community Access Acts rolled into this (basically helping folks live in the community rather than nursing homes or state run borderline prisons) so between this and IDEA being fully funded for the first time ever (thanks, Stimulus Package) I’ve got Hope and Change coming out the wazoo.

[re=537939]DustBowlBlues[/re]: Your pretend bf, Mr Shuster, also kept saying “Racial Epitaphs” yesterday…”Here Lies a Nigger”?
Wait – this is weird.
Did I suddenly wake up in some kind of parallel universe where the Dems actually accomplished something significant and the Teabaggers are looking like nutjobs in the media?

[re=538069]Baconbits[/re]: Because we live in a country governed by a plutocracy of greedy pig buggers and their house slave politicians. You have to break some bloody teeth in their mouths if you want any concessions from them. Be thankful they have enough shame (due to cultural norms or whatever) to admit denying children health care to expand their profit margin is an abomination.
[re=538069]Baconbits[/re]: I don’t know. But I saw a graphic in my local newspaper that listed “immediate access to high risk pools for people with no insurance because of preexisting conditions/90 days after enactment.” It’s with a McClatchy-Tribune story by Noam N. Levey and Kim Geiger — but I can’t find a link to it on the Intertubes.
Anyway, I’m coasting along w/COBRA right now — good luck on finding something suitable. — Why do you think you may not have ins. coverage through your employer in 2 yrs.?
[re=537964]MzNicky[/re]: Then I’ll add Rahm, too. Just don’t tell me that David Shuster is Jew. Evidently in my world, sexy Christians are hard to come by.
[re=537822]Lucidamente[/re]: Vickie’s ex-husband played softball at times for the same team that Sam Alito also played for sometimes. Not that it matters…
[re=538139]MzNicky[/re]: Not so much that I won’t have insurance through my job, but that I won’t have a job. Complicated personal situation – I may have to move, and I work in a field that’s very specific to where I currently live.
I’m sure I’ll be able to find a way to make it work. If nothing else, the pharma companies are actually really good about getting people their MS meds for free if needed. It just seemed odd that they’re making the change for kids right away, and making adults wait 4 years…
[re=538248]Baconbits[/re]: The reason is that the shitstorm the insurance industry kicked up would have been much worse otherwise, so Barack took the one decent idea Johnny Mac had and threw that in instead. Under section 1101 of the act, from now to 2014 folks with pre-existing conditions who can’t get covered on the private market will be eligible to find coverage in a high-risk pool. So basically if you can’t afford COBRA if/when you leave your job you’ll have this option (and potentially Medicaid if your income is low enough).
[re=537868]CivicHoliday[/re]: and what about my “right” to enter homosexual polygamist marriages with my cat, parrot and goldfish?
Aaaaaaiiiiiiiii!!! Esa es una chupacabra, tal vez! Corre Barry! Corre!
[re=537824]Mr Blifil[/re]: You’re an azz and probably a teabagger on welfare, 40+ yrs old living in a trailer park with your Mother. Get off the computer that you are using at the local library. Obama is YOUR President! How dare you comparing him to Hitler!
