Encouraging

Via TPM: In an interview to be broadcast this evening on 60 Minutes the President says of whatever healthcare reform bill finally finds its way to his desk for his signature:
I have no interest in having a bill get passed that fails, that doesn't work. You know, I intend to be president for a while and once this bill passes, I own it. And if people look and say, "You know what? This hasn't reduced my costs. My premiums are still going up 25 percent, insurance companies are still jerking me around," I'm the one who's going to be held responsible. So I have every incentive to get this right.
