I think in the healthcare bill Obama delivered a killer punch and the Repblicans cannot fathom it. Wanahaha maana wanajua ni mapinduzi makubwa. Leo kwenye The Citizen (page 9) kuna article ya mwandishi mashuuri Janathan Power anasema kwamba kwa Obama kupitisha muswada huu anaweza kuwazidi Rais Lyndon Johnson na Franklin Roosevelt kwa mabadiliko ya sera za ndani Marekani. Republicans na wazungu wenye bifu na Obama wanapagawa!

It's one of the saddest things about America, the land of democracy and free will, clearly the powers that be won't allow any changes to the health care system but who knows, perhaps Obama really can bring the change that is so much needed in that country.

teh teh republican bana...

 

[buliba]

Vita kati ya mashefa na malofa. Republican wanamtungua Obama bcoz wanatetea tabaka la mamwinyi (Insurance companies).

Ukiicheki lobbying system ya hayo makampuni ndo utapata picha kamili ya hako ka-mchezo. All in all wamarekani tabaka la chini wamefurahia lakini wenye kipato kikubwa wameona itakula kwao...sasa?

Karl Max nadhani aliliweka sawa......

"The Parliamentarian struck two minor provisions tonight from the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, but this bill's passage in the Senate is still a big win for the American people. These changes do not impact the reforms to the student loan programs and the important investments in education.

Hahaha, Lets be clear here. Naona watu watachanganya maana huu mchakato ni mgumu kidogo kuuelewa.

1. Kuna Healthcare Law hii haiguswi tena kwani tayari ni Law of the Land regardless what happen to this fixing the law bill.

2. Inayorudishwa kwa house ni Reconciliation bill ambayo ina-fix differences kati House bill and Senate bill ambayo kwa sasa ni SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND

Kwa kuwa Heathcare reconciliation bill inapitishwa kwa simple majory Budgetary procedure ambayo ni lazima kila kipengele kiwe kinaathiri budget na si vinginevyo, Sasa GOP wamepata minor changes ambazo hazina effect kwa budget. Hii yote ni dakika za mwisho za GOP kuwaonesha wafuasi wao kuwa wana-fight ila kama ni GAME ILIISHA JUMAPILI Pale House walipopitisha Senate Bill Kuwa Sheria.

WASHINGTON - Capping an epic struggle, congressional Democrats put the final touches Thursday to historic legislation enshrining health care as the right of every citizen. Republicans vowed to campaign for repeal in the fall election season, drawing a quick retort from President Barack Obama: "I welcome that fight."

The president spoke in Iowa as the Senate voted 56-43 for legislation making changes, including better benefits for seniors and low-income and middle-class families, to the bill he signed into law with a flourish at the White House on Tuesday.

The House added its approval a few hours later, 220-207, clearing the way for Obama's signature on the second of two bills that marked the culmination of what the president called "a year of debate and a century of trying" to ensure coverage for nearly all in a nation where millions lack it. Obama is expected to sign the legislation early next week.

Taken together, the two bills also aim to crack down on insurance industry abuses and to reduce federal deficits by an estimated $143 billion over a decade. Most Americans would be required to buy insurance for the first time, and face penalties if they refused.

The second of the two bills also presented Obama with another victory, stripping banks and other private lenders of their ability to originate student loans in favor of a system of direct government lending.

After a monthslong battle in Congress, the political struggle was morphing into a new phase, where public debate was tinged with violence – and politicians accused one another of seeking to exploit it for their own advantage.

Apart from their impact on nearly every American and an estimated one-sixth of the American economy, the week's events marked Obama's biggest political triumphs since he took office more than a year ago. A pending arms control agreement with Russia, announced on Wednesday, added to his resume, and White House officials said they hoped the momentum would translate into further political successes in the run-up to the midterm elections.

More than 10 lawmakers in the House said they had received threats or worse as a consequence of the health care debate, most of them Democrats who voted in favor of the legislation. There were reports of bricks through windows, a cut propane line to a grill and numerous obscene and threatening phone calls and faxes. An undisclosed number of lawmakers were under increased police protection.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and the GOP leader, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, both denounced the threats and incidents of violence. But Democrats said Republicans had been too slow to respond, drawing an outraged response in return.
