Finally! Finally, a president is talking about health care reform. Starting with President Truman in the late 1940's, almost every president (who was a Democrat) has talked openly about reforming the broken American health care system. We came close to universal health care in 1993 before Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh led a revolution that ended with the definition of egg on the face of President Clinton and his wife. As I have stated many times before, the single most important issue I care about in politics is universal health care. It is not just fiscally responsible but it is morally reprehensible that we are the only Westernized country without health care for all of its citizens. Americans should all hang their heads in shame that 48 million Americans (many of them children) live day by day praying to God that they do not get sick because it would bankrupt them due to having no health care. Today, President Obama gave a moving and convincing speech to America about health care reform. His point he kept hammering home was, "this time it will be different." Yes President Obama! Be the leader I know you can be and get health care reformed. You have already promised to end combat duties in Iraq by the end of 2010. You have already provided massive legislature designed to improve our economy (whether you agree or not, it's something), and now you are pushing health care reform. After a rough forty days in office, I see a brighter future. Even prominent Republicans, like Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa says he sees no reason why Congress can not have a plan in place by the end of this summer. Obama brought up one really good point today. He said that private or as Republicans like to call it, the "consumer" health care system we have now costs 2.4 trillion dollars a year. There is no way that if we go to a public or "universal" health care system that it would cost that much. To those conservatives out there who could give a shit about the poor. This will help your bottom line! You will have more money. Senator Ted Kennedy ended the meeting by saying, "I'm looking forward to being a foot soldier in this undertaking, and this time we will not fail." I hope you are right Mr. Kennedy.

2. Yesterday was one of the most exciting sporting events I have ever been to. Down one with 19 seconds left, Lawrence Westbrook hit a huge jump shot and the Golden Gophers defeated arch-rival Wisconsin Badgers to take the University of Minnesota to a nice 21 - 8 record. They just need to not choke with their last two games and they should be safely dancing.
