DAVID SPENCER SAYS, "I DON'T THINK THERE WAS MUCH THEY WERE GONNA GET ACCOMPLISHED IN THAT ONE HOUR THAT THEY HADN'T ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED. AND TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORT SOMETHING AS SILLY AS A BASKETBALL TEAM MIGHT BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO THEM OF HOW THEY CAN FIND A WAY TO AGREEMENT. " JOSH RUTHERFORD SAYS "IF BASKETBALL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MAKING LAWS THEN THATS OBVIOUS PROOF THAT WE HAVE THE DUMBEST LEGISLATURE IN AMERICA"

PRESIDENT OBAMA DELAYED AN OVERSEAS TRIP TO SEE THE BILL THROUGH. HIS SENIOR ADVISOR SAYS THE 9-MONTH POLITICAL DEBATE OVER HEALTHCARE IS AT IT'S END. "" HOUSE DEMOCRATS WANT TO PASS THE SENATE VERSION OF THE HEALTHCARE BILL, THEN MAKE ANY NECESSARY CHANGES THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BUDGET RECONCILIATION.
