Obama challenges lobbyists to legislative duel

~

Obama says his ambitious budget plan will help millions of people, but only if Congress overcomes resistance from deep-pocketed lobbies.

I hope he can get his way.

It's about time that the people of the US had a healthcare system that people can use regardless of their income.
