That’s Mike Allen’s assessment of a proposed health-care and carbon-tax jam down via the Budget Resolution, an end-run around the Senate’s 60 vote rule, which has previously only been used for tax code changes impacting the budget, not major policy proposals like an overhaul of health care and cap-and-trade.
The best argument against the jam down is in the dismal results of recent past jam throughs.
Last fall the Congress pushed through the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (”CSPIA”) which is causing the needless destruction of billions of dollars of goods and crippling whole industries.
The stimulus bill itself had numerous screw-ups within it, hidden from view and correction because of the speed with which it was advanced.
The AIG bonuses are a result of carelessness and haste on the part of Team Obama.
Imagine what will happen to your health care or the country’s entire economy if the mad dash methodology is adopted for medicine or cap-and-trade.
The Senate should be in full revolt over the stripping away of its institutional role, and the MSM should be mocking the idea that this was ever a president committed to bipartisanship.
“I’ve now been to 57 states on my campaign”
“When a child with asthma goes into the hospital, they need to give him some treatment, a breathalyzer”
“John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith”
“On this Memorial Day we honor our fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience today”
“Penn State right here, Nittaly Lions”

What A F-in joke.
He’s the BOY President......he acts like an immature child.
I would describe his words, with or without teleprompter, as cold and lifeless, like the electronic image of Big Brother.
That’s a keeper!
Please stop insulting toads. They're useful, beneficial animals that eat vermin; The Usurper is vermin.
Thanks for the ping.
