"It's worse than we thought it was. It's not as bad as we think it is."

Whatever. Sounds like back-pedaling and damage control, if you ask me.

On another note: He who was headed to Washington to "shake up the way we do government" must have suddenly decided to play by the "rules". Queen Pelosi and her minions seem to have educated the greenhorn post haste.
On yet another note: Big government seems to be getting bigger and bigger. That certainly isn't the approach that made this country the great, prosperous power that it is today. I, for one, am someone who would actually stand to benefit from a government-run health care system, as my wife and I are uninsured. However, I am against government involvement (with the exception of regulation) in the health care sector and will vote against any proposal resulting in such involvement, if and when it's ever put up for a vote by the people.
