Despite multiple obstacles, the House Democratics have passed the health care reform bill. This is a major political victory for President Barack Obama.

The president has inherited many problems. He is facing a lot of difficulties against an opposition party who has chosen to deliberately sabotage his leadership rather than to put the country first. Among the president’s challengers to health care reform were not only the GOP but the skeptics within his own political party.

For families that struggle living without health care, this is the beginning of the end of their nightmare.President Obama has succeeded where many presidents before him have failed. Determination and perseverance are the key to Obama’s achievement. As the Arabs of Egypt say, “You know a man by the sweat of his brow and the strength of his word.”
