President Barack Obama is ready to sign landmark health care legislation into law today, but the work is far from over.Top of the Ticket adds this:
He also plans to make trips around the country, starting with Iowa Thursday, to persuade skeptics that the medical system remake will make their lives better.
But first Obama will surround himself at the White House with aides, Cabinet members and Democratic leaders who helped pushed the bill through.
Republicans say they'll continue to fight it in whatever forum is appropriate, including the courts.
Other than that and whatever else the White House publicity team can wring out of The Smoker's healthy victory lap, we're surely done with healthcare talk.The anger among the regular folks in flyover country is palpable. Democrats will regret this day even more than the rest of us will.Not!
There are, as you read this, at least thirty-seven (37) states considering lawsuits over this gazillion-dollar healthcare bill, mainly over its constitutionality in requiring citizens to buy health insurance. There will be efforts to repeal the measure.
But House Speaker Nancy "Where's My Airplane?" Pelosi is obviously (see photo) enjoying the media attention as possibly one of the most powerful women in the nation or maybe even the planet. Despite her pathetic poll numbers.
And as our wise and wily veteran political colleague Mark Z. Barabak wrote elsewhere on this site, the subject of the divisive and expensive government healthcare bill might come up -- who knows? -- in just about every single congressional campaign across the country leading up to November's midterm elections, when, historic patterns suggest, the White House party was already set to lose some seats on the Hill.

Just look at that picture of Nancy Pelosi, braying like the jack ass she is.
Laugh it up Nancy. But the American people will have the last laugh.
