Blog For Class, and Obama's Joint Session with Congress

This is my 1st blog entry for this class. I had one from a previous class, but couldn't remember how to get into it so i've created a new one.

Tonight President Barack H. Obama will speak once again to a joint session of Congress. His topic for tonight is Universal Healthcare. The issue has been on the table for a month or two now, and Congress has just re-convened. The President will tell the nation what he will, and will not, support in the bill in order for him to sign. The bill must get through the House of Representatives first, and then Senate. Say all you want about signing, and yes both chambers have the votes to pass, but these people also have hopes of being re-elected.

With the passing of long-time Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy of Massachusetts, the bill has taken on a third wind in both chambers to "honor" Sen. Kennedy's service to our nation. For those who may not know, universal healthcare was Kennedy's life-long goal. His "spirit" hanging in the Senate will most likely give both left-wing and moderate senators more energy in pushing this bill through.

How do you feel about healthcare in general? Whether it be universal, public option or not, purely private insurers?

I have an idea that I'd like to share, but will in my next post because my battery is dieing currently.
