Historic Day - Health Care Reform

The New York Times: Reports that Speaker Pelosi will have a narrow win in the House to pass health care reform, the NYT states the following, " the margin of victory would likely be razor thin even under their most optimistic scenario. Republicans.....still held out hope of derailing the legislation. ". Whatever you think about the process the Obama White House will have a major win, it will have shown that Obama has the same presence as LBJ when it comes to getting laws through Congress. On other hand POTUS might just find that he has won the battle but lost the War. After 1968 for the most part it was Republicans in the Oval or moderate Democrats, in the UK after 1945 and after the Labour Government it was the Conservative Party that was the Party of Government. The seeking of the prize is sometimes more important than the prize itself, thus Obama will get HCR but the cost might be that he will lose the House in 2010 even the Senate and he will be a one term President after 2012. But President Obama will have his win, but lets recall it was not the Great Society of LBJ that bought him down it was Vietnam, and in odd way it might be Iran that brings Obama down, and why you might ask, simple they can tell President Obama to get lost.
