"I am extraordinarily pleased and grateful to learn that the AARP and the American Medical Association are both supporting the health insurance reform bill that will soon come up to vote in the House of Representatives," Obama said in an unannounced visit to the White House briefing room.

AARP is "no small endorsement," Obama said of the 40-million strong seniors' lobby.

"We are closer to passing this reform than ever before," Obama said. "Now that the doctors and medical professionals of America are standing with us, now that the organizations charged with looking out for the interests of seniors are standing with us, we are even closer."

1. They are endorsing a bill that is not even completed? How silly.

Even President Obama has not endorsed the bill.

2. Their endorsement is a good reason for me to be against it.

Was it Graysopn or Weiner who said that if pharma and insurance companies aren't squealing like pigs, we have not done a good job on the bill.

3. The second they endorse it

you can bet this place will go nuts against it. Maybe that's why I'm seeing a shitload of "ignored" around here today.
