For posterity, these quotes are being saved for future reference:
"We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people." President Barack Obama
"We will be joining those who established Social Security, Medicare and now, tonight, health care for all Americans." Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
"This is the civil rights act of the 21st century." Representative Jim Clyburn
"The president was and the Congress were sent here to address the problems that people face in this country, and that's what voters want us to see." WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs
"We have failed to listen to America and we have failed to reflect the will of our constituents." Representative John Boehner
"It's very unusual that you have a major policy that doesn't have a majority of support in the public." George Edwards, Texas A&M University presidential historian
For the record (from the Associated Press):
A Gallup poll showed more Americans believe the measure will make things worse rather than better for the country as a whole and for them personally.
And most polls show most people don't like the plan although some surveys showed Americans giving high marks to individual elements.
Over For Now.
