Obamas most despicable act to date.

With Brown winning Massachusetts, any hope to improve healthcare in the near future is dead. The status quo is actually better for me personally, but I much prefer having a healther nation with better healthcare. Oh well, the conservative cowards who pee their pants when something different comes along will soon die off (by old age or the healthcare policy they support) and more educated, liberal voters will take their place and hopefully move the country forward.

If the Democrats can't govern with a 59-41 majority in the Senate, there is something very wrong with their agenda. Given how many independents who voted for Obama in '08 turned around and voted for Brown, I'd be very reluctant to blame this on "conservative cowards."

I'd also question the assumption that universal health care would lead to healthier Americans. There is a very real possibility that we would end up simply subsidizing bad behavior as we usually do.
