everything's gonna be alright

I very much appreciated the President's snarkiness in his speech on health care this week. He is having fun. When discussing how some said the health care bill was inviting Armageddon he said this:

So after I signed the bill, I looked around. I looked up at the sky to see if asteroids were coming. I looked at the ground to see if cracks had opened up in the earth. You know what, it turned out it was a pretty nice day. Birds were still chirping. Folks were strolling down the street. Nobody had lost their doctor. Nobody had pulled the plug on Granny. Nobody was being dragged away to be forced into some government-run health care plan.
