First Stone Of Complete Government Takeover Has Been Thrown


President Obama signed a landmark health insurance overhaul Tuesday in a ceremony that put the finishing touch on a yearlong battle that has defined his presidency.
The president, pausing to take in the cheers and applause from the room full of congressional Democrats, Cabinet secretaries and supporters, said the signing marks a "new season in America."

He called the completion of the bill both “remarkable and improbable,” an acknowledgement of the hurdles and stiff opposition his health care push endured as well as the succession of past presidents and Congresses that have tried to pass a national health care overhaul.
Obama described the passage of the bill as a testament to America’s greatness.
“We are not a nation that scales back its aspirations. We are not a nation that falls prey to doubt or mistrust. … Here in this nation, we shape our own destiny,” Obama said.
In a shot at critics, Obama said the "overheated rhetoric" would finally meet the "reality of reform."
It's that "we shape our own destiny" line that should scare everyone!
