President Barack Obama signed a bill Wednesday extending health coverage to 4 million uninsured children, a much-needed win a day after he lost his nominee to lead his drive for sweeping health care reform.Good to see 40 Republicans doing the correct thing. Taking care of children when they are outside the womb is what more conservatives need to learn how to do. They love their embryos and "Culture Of Life" rhetoric, but always come up short when it comes to taking care of real people.
"This is good. This is good," a smiling Obama said as he entered the East Room for the packed, ebullient signing ceremony.
The bill went to the White House fresh from passage in the Democratic-controlled House, on a vote of 290-135. Forty Republicans joined in approval.
