One of the key undecided members of Congress on health reform, U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo), remained uncommitted yesterday but said she is "leaning" in favor of the bill after getting some personal attention from President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"I am leaning toward voting for the bill if we can properly deal with the abortion issue and we are fast about that task," Miss Kaptur said.
A photograph taken yesterday shows both Mr. Obama and Mr. Reid (D., Nevada) with hands on Miss Kaptur's shoulders while they were all at a signing ceremony at the White House for a newly passed jobs bill, an unrelated measure.
"[The President] just greeted me, said hello. He gave me a kiss on the left cheek," Miss Kaptur said.
Mr. Obama then listened as Mr. Reid assured Miss Kaptur that the bill would not undermine the long-standing Hyde rule against federal abortion funding.
"He said, 'Marcy, I helped write those provisions. I assure you they don't go beyond existing law,'•" Miss Kaptur said. "I said, 'I want to see the language you're talking about.'•"

Also yesterday, U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer (D., Battle Creek) announced he would support the legislation.
Mr. Schauer said he was confident that a modified version of the Senate bill would pass that eliminates special deals that were included to win the votes of senators from Nebraska and Louisiana.

I’m really starting to hate all of these people...
“The president gave me a kiss on the left cheek. I felt a tingle in my crotch! I’ll never wash that cheek again! I love Obama!”
These people are sickening. And sadly, there are many “men” in this country who feel the same way.
Fixed it for you.
