pessimism is so difficult

as a college educated, self-employed, un-insured american, i'm thrilled with obamas passion for bringing health-care into the 21st century. If the republicans and blue cross dems prevent this from happening they will be remembered. I don't normally waste the time to comment but the pettiness and triteness of these comments got to me this morning. I'll be watching for obama in Raleigh and i hope these nay-sayers do to.

Thanks for this info, I am

Thanks for this info, I am gonna register straightaway and hope i get chance to visit there .
