The title quote, uttered by President Obama to describe the choice we have in the 2010 elections, captures the essence of the on-going struggle between humanity's inner-angels and inner-demons, a struggle which produces the realization of both our dreams and our nightmares, depending on which prevails in any given moment of history.
What follows is a full exposition of the meaning of the title phrase, including its significance in U.S. and World History, to the U.S. Constitution, and to the Colorado gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races of 2010.

Last night the House passed the Senates version of the HCR bill and the reconciliation fixes that they had bargained for. With that we crossed a line, but it was not the finish line, not by a long shot. While the bill has a lot of things in it that will measurably improve the amount and availability of health care for millions of Americans (more than zero, but way less that all) that is not really the important and historic aspect of the bill.
What changed last night is the framing of the debate about health care in this nation. Up until now it was an undecided question if the goal should be covering all Americans in one form or another. That question has been decided, the answer is yes.
