Vice President Joe Biden has been known to open his mouth without thinking and do you think this should have been any different at the Health Care Bill signing? Nope! After introducing the President he leans in and whispers to him "This is a big f*cking deal!" LOL Oh man so made my day yesterday. He's hilarious. Like hello all those news cameras and microphones there you thought no one would hear you?
I guess he got a little caught up in the moment which is understandable. And you KNOW Obama probably wanted to laugh but he couldn't.

Health Care Reform?
So if you follow the news even atleast a little bit, you know that President Obama's Health Care Reform bill passed yesterday. I'm not really sure why there's all this drama surrounding it though because it sounds like a good thing. Health care for everyone, right? Apparently many people don't feel that way and I kind of want to read the bill just to see what it's all about. And why there is so much controversy with it. One thing I REALLY do respect is that Obama is carrying out the late Ted Kennedy's wishes because he wanted health care reform. That's very noble of him to try to complete what Kennedy wanted and to keep trying until he got it passed.
I don't understand though why some people are saying "Oh, health care isn't a right." Really? Because it should be a right. How would you like it if you were so sick and couldn't be seen at a doctor because you had no health insurance? How would that make you feel? We already have health care for everybody in Massachusetts, which is Mass Health. But I don't know all the details of the bill so I'm not saying it's right or wrong because honestly I don't know the answer to that. I guess we'll see what happens in the coming days.
Everyone DOES deserve and need to have health care though. I'll leave it at that.

RIP Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy
RIP Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy

At the age of 77 Senator Ted Kennedy has lost his battle to brain cancer just weeks after the death of his sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver. My heart goes out to the whole Kennedy family who released this statement:
"We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," the statement said. "We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice, fairness and opportunity for all."
It's funny cause when you're younger you know someone dies, but it doesn't really phase you. But I'm honestly sad that he has died. He was a great man loved by many.
In 2008 he helped endorse President Obama in the presidential race. Obama just so happened to be on vacation near the Kennedy residence. He released this statement:
“An important chapter in our history has come to an end. Our country has lost a great leader, who picked up the torch of his fallen brothers and became the greatest United States Senator of our time,” words straight from our President, Barack Obama.

President Obama
So last night I was watching Obama give his speech on tv and everytime I watch him it makes me like him even more. I hate that I'm not 18 because I so would've voted for him. Maybe if he runs again after his term is up I'll get to vote with him, if I still like him this much lol. He just seems so down to earth and like he cares about people. So much more relateable than other presidents, atleast in my opinion. Maybe it's because he's the youngest president we've had since JFK? Who knows, I just know I like him. One thing I don't think is fair is that people aren't really realizing that he's only been in office for about 60 days, give the man a break it's gonna take time to fix 8 years of damage. Atleast he cares about his people, saying that he wants to create programs to make sure homelessness decreases because he says everybody deserves to have a roof over his head. Which makes me think of that day at one of his speeches when an older women spoke up about how she was having problems because of the economy if I remember correctly and he actually was going to do something to help her. Would Bush do this if someone asked him? Probably not. On another note, I think it's annoying how people are so critical about what our president and first lady are wearing. It's not like their being unproffesional and walking around in say sweat pants and wife beaters. Like leave the man alone, he's doing his job. So what if he doesn't have a tie and full suit on all the time? And Michelle shouldn't be criticized for wearing sleeveless outfits and anything else she wears. She always looks nice, so what's the problem?? She's not an old lady like past first ladies were, why should she have to dress like one? Last I wish I was an Obama just so I could have a swingset (like I used to lol) and a puppy! Alrightyy well thats it for now.
