OK Barack came up with the idea - but it was Nancy who realized it. She relentlessly chased her fellow democrats and tried to keep of the jumpy frogs into the bucket. And it worked!
See a nice time line of health care politics in the NYT here.  

Barack did what he does best and had a nice speech to celebrate:
“In the end what this day represents is another stone firmly laid in the foundation of the American dream,” the president said. “Tonight, we answered the call of history as so many generations of Americans have before us. When faced with crisis, we did not shrink from our challenges. We overcame them. We did not avoid our responsibilities, we embraced it. We did not fear our future, we shaped it.”
