Tonight at 11:15 pm EST, by a 220 to 215 vote, the House passed their
version of Health Care Reform.

Among the most meaningful pieces of legislation in history making it
through one body of congress is a big deal. There's lots of work left
but I'm damned happy a major bridge has been crossed.

All you folks who hate your fellow Americans and don't think it's
worth the investment have my sympathy.

What happened to that open government stuff. Where bills would be up
for reading and analysis for 5 days before a vote?


I believe it's been up for 72 hours (3 days). I believe the 5-day thing
was for the stim. bill.

The 5 days was mister Change's promise on all bills. And 72 hours for a
2500 page bill?


Do you think you could read the 2000 page bill in five days? I might be able
to, but it would be a full time job.

Feel free to show me where Obama proposed five days for "all" bills.
