Seniors Enjoy New Health Care Benefits

It was only a matter of time. Hopefully, more see this video posted by Thinkprogress.

The Plouffe Effect?

Say what you want, but this will go down in the history books as a big win for this administration. Those that voted for this and had the courage, bravo. The momentum turned around in recent weeks. Obama has become more of a fighting champion of the populous and much more vocal about his support of legislation.

Is it coincidence that Plouffe came back and things turned around for the WH? I'm not sure it was.

Anyways, history will be the judge.
