re: #563 calcajun

I was being sarcastic. I got what you meant. Just trying to inject (no pun intended) some humor. Sounds like the American people got a fright tonight—seeing the caliber of the man they elected.

My (probably unpopular) guess is that the American people will hang on the non-information given tonight, and Obama’s ratings and the popularity of the bill will rise noticeably.
The stock market … who knows? My guess is up after the bill passes.

60 days from now, reality will set in, as the bill gets looked at closely.

For what it’s worth, I’ve advocated centralized medical records for several years. I have a unique set of “issues”. I do not, under any circumstances, advocate government-monitored procedures (or national health care of any sort).
