-- From "Elated Democrats curse it up to celebrate healthcare ruling" by Seema Mehta, Los Angeles Times 6/29/12
After the ruling, Obama's campaign on Thursday tweeted "Still a BFD," and a link to its website for a $30 T-shirt that says "Health Reform Still a BFD."

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina sent supporters an email saying that although Thursday had been a good day, work remained to be done. The subject line: "Let's win the damn election."
A beaming House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday, "The politics be damned. This is about what we came to do."
