Obama was taking his daughters to Indonesia, where he spent some years of his youth. Kucinich did not let him. Instead Barry had to entertain Dennis in Air Force One so he could change his mind.
That is mean Dennis; you spoiled dad bonding in the Obama family.
From the link above:
"In announcing his support, Mr. Kucinich said he would keep working for a government-financed single-payer health care system. But after coming under intense pressure, which included a visit to his district on Monday by Mr. Obama, Mr. Kucinich said he did not want his objections to stand in the way of the legislation.
“If my vote is to be counted, let it count now for passage of the bill, hopefully in the direction of comprehensive health care reform,” Mr. Kucinich said."
Explaining factors he had considered in making his decision, Mr. Kucinich said, “We have to be very careful that the potential of President Obama’s presidency not be destroyed by this debate.”
“Something is better than nothing — that’s what I keep hearing from my constituents,” Mr. Kucinich said."
