President Barack Obama, speaking shortly after signing the health care reform bill into law, mocked GOP leaders who had implied that passage of the bill would bring about “Armageddon.”

“I heard one of the Republican leaders say this was ‘going to be Armageddon,'” the President said, referring to comments earlier this week by House Minority Leader John Boehner and RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

“Well, two months from now, six months from now, we can check it out, look around, and we’ll see,” Obama continued, drawing laughter from the audience.
