"While campaigning for the presidency of the United
States of America, Barack Obama was often asked why he felt
he was qualified for the job and he would answer that,
according to supporters and colleagues, he had a gift for
building effective coalitions capable of accomplishing
difficult tasks. The value of such a talent was proven March
21, 2010, when the House of Representative passed the then
Health Care Bill with a vote of 219-212, and again on March
23, when Obama signed the bill into law."
