President Barack Obama made his State of the Union speech on Wednesday evening and hit a number of issues, including: education, terrorism, and health care reform. Mr. Obama did point out some of the faults of the health care legislation. He particularly pointed out the issue of "horse-trading" being used during the health care debate.:

Dems are all the same: there are NO moderate Democrats, just liars.
What I find curious is that Senators such as Nelson went to the mat to get this abomination past the Senate, and now they’re being hung out to dry by the liberals in their own party.
Don’t know about horse trading, but nelson is a horse’s ass.
Ben Nelson is essentially the south end of a north bound horse.
Kindest thing I could think of for him...
