Well, depending on what the President wants. We can't hardly go by what he says. So I think he is closer to the Senate than he is to the House because he served in the Senate. But I think the answer is probably, yes, but we have to qualify it. Yes, depending. Here's what I think. I think the President will sign any bill that says National Health Care Act in it. I don't think the substance of it matters. I don't think if it costs more than $900 billion to them it matters. I don't think if he said that it's not going to fund abortion--and it does--he will sign it anyway. He says it doesn't fund illegals--and it does: 6.1 million according to the Congressional Budget Office. 6.1 million illegals would have access to American taxpayers' dollars' benefits under the Senate version of the bill, and the President says it doesn't have anything to benefit illegals. And the Speaker pointed her finger at our leader, John Boehner, on February 25 and said, This bill doesn't fund abortion, and we know it does. So if people can't be held accountable to their word, and if the language, the plain language in the bill says one thing and people's word says another thing, I don't know what their intentions are or where they'd say ``no.'' I think he's salivating to sign a bill.
