A few good lines

By GottaLaff

President Obama is in Glenside, Pennsylvania talking health care. A few lines stood out to me:

--To Republicans: You had 10 years, what happened?

--Anthem Blue Cross just jacked up premiums by nearly 40%. 40%! Anyone's paycheck gone up 40%?

--The U.S. Congress owes the American people an up or down vote on health care. The time for talk is over. We need to see where people stand.

--I wouldn't take advice about what's good for Democrats [from Mitch McConnell].

--Those of us in public office were not sent to Washington to do what's easy. We were sent there to take on the tough issues... to solve the big challenges. [This one got huge applause]

--I don't know how passing health care will play politically, but I do know it's the right thing to do. [Another one that got huge applause]
