That act galvanized the country. While the government should've been working together and getting the country moving in the right direction they are at war with each other. And we all know they will be until 2012.
This is one of the reasons I have grown tired of Obama. I think we need major healthcare reconstruction passed in this country if we want to maintain a strong middle class, but I don't see the bill that they passed as being the answer.

What annoys me about Obama is that when he went into office he and the democrats had this huge super-majority. The were swept into power and he was very popular as he took office. He should have made job #1 doing everything in his power to get the economy back on track and recovering. If he does that he probably holds the house during the midterm elections and they could work on healthcare once the economy is better.

Instead it seems like they broke out some of their dream ideas a got to work pushing them through because they realized this opportunity may not come along again for another 30 years and in the meantime the economy continued to struggle and suffer.
