"What we are buying here is a modest home, not a mansion…. It’s got a good foundation: 30 million Americans are covered… A lot of protections from abuses by insurance companies. It’s got a lot of nice stuff in there for prevention and wellness. But, we can build additions as we go along in the future. It is a starter home. Think about it in that way."

Timothy Geithner
Yes… passing a massive health care bill that costs $1.042 trillion over the next decade, and creates $348 billion in new health care spending every year (while only bringing in $143 billion in new taxes) will surely help bring deficits down… ugh
"If they can’t administer a program like this, I’d be a little concerned about my health insurance."
Rob Bojaryn, car salesman
On the government’s inability to effectively manage the Cars for Clunkers program.
"But I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry. No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And No. 3 — what I think we know separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that’s just a fact."
President Obama on the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. for disorderly conduct outside his home in Cambridge.
Mr. President, please know the facts before you decide to eloquently comment on something.

this is just great logic…
