31st March, 2010 by Webmaster
Every new US President enters the White House saying they want to be a uniter not a divider, but January’s defeat in one of the nation’s strongest Democrat seats in Massachusetts snapped Obama out of this sense of romanticism. Instead he was galvanised, returned to campaign mode and rammed his healthcare reform bill through Congress despite fevered Republican objections.
And just a few days after the signing of the bill (for which he used no
fewer than 22 pens), which brings healthcare cover to 35 million extra
Americans, he went on to ‘bring peace on earth’.
