40 Days until Inauguation - Health Care Reform ! Yes !

Tom Daschle knows something about good health. He was the recipient of the WMD letter ! He was a great legislator and in actuality he was the Democrat that was 'Swift-Boated' along with Kerry for his re-election of 2004. I am glad he is back and Barak has made a great choice once again.
