In the wake of last night’s passage of “Health-Care Reform” –

WASHINGTON —The House of Representatives Sunday passed by a 219 to 212 vote the biggest overhaul of the nation’s health care system in more than four decades, sweeping changes expected to make coverage easier and cheaper to obtain.

The largely party-line vote —219 Democrats voted “yea” while all 178 Republicans and 34 Democrats voted no —meant President Barack Obama’s biggest domestic initiative neared the end of its year-long political and legislative odyssey.

“We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things,” Obama said late Sunday from the White House.

… John McCain (R – Media), who made all this possible with his “honorable campaign:”

John McCain sought to walk back some of the hostility that he and his crowds have projected towards Barack Obama in recent days, saying he wanted to run a respectful campaign and urging his supporters to think of Obama as a decent person.

After an attendee at his town hall said he was concerned about bringing up a child under a president who “cohorts with domestic terrorists such as [Bill] Ayers,” McCain didn’t take the bait. Rather, he sought to calm the questioner’s obviously emotional tone.

“[Senator Obama] is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States,” he said, before adding: “If I didn’t think I would be one heck of a better president I wouldn’t be running.”

McCain was subsequently booed.
