mr. obama joined by a huge audience of democratic members of congress and a celebratory ceremony marking a year's worth of legislative wrangling and a century's worth of aspiration finally coming true. vice president joe biden allowed his excitement to show when he swore a little too close to an open microphone while congratulating the president on the enormity of this accomplishment. that was what was going on above the surface in politics today. hugely consequential legislative win, part of paragraph one definition of barack obama's presidency no matter what else he does in this term or a potential second term that is the huge news going on above the surface visibly in american politics right now. what is going on below the surface in american politics is something very different. we reported on three separate incidents across the country in which it seems people opposed to health reform abandoned the debate and decided to express their opposition to health reform through violence and intimidation. we described last night incidents at two democratically elected official offices in new york state and one in arizona. all three were attacked over the weekend. today we are updating our reporting on what is tu
