Obama to Blue Dogs, "'YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY MY PRESIDENCY"
National Journal/The Lid ^ | 7/22/09 | The Lid

Posted on 07/22/2009 9:21:45 AM PDT by Shellybenoit

The other day, the President bashed Senator DeMint for making the Obamacare battle personal:

one Republican senator said — and I'm quoting him now — "If we are able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."Think about that. This is not about me. This is not about politics. It is a health care system that is breaking America's families.

Many of the Democratic/liberal groups like MoveOn and the DNC are using the DeMint statement for fund raising.

Here's the little secret the Democrats don't want you to know, The President Agrees with DeMint. In a meeting with Blue Dogs last week he complained, 'You're going to destroy my presidency. "

I believe we are being played by these “blue dogs”. I think if push comes to shove they will do whatever Pelosi tells them to do.

For now, I don’t think any of them really give a damn about the our country, they’re just trying to hold power, individually and as a coalition.

If they had any guts we would have more moderate leadership in the House and the Senate.

They’re blue alright, but they’re blue rats.

Absolutely right. The "blue dog" democrats are RATS thru & thru, and after 0boooooomba & Pelosi finish threatening & bribing them, they will fold like a wet blanket while taking credit for inserting some minor, inconsequential "improvement" into this hate America bill.

Bastard demoRATs readying their final assult on America.

I hope we are ready to man the barricades soon. CW II or Am Rev II needs to happen, as socialism will never retreat or retract on its own. We need to dismantle & destroy every last vestige of liberalism-socialism from the last +70 years, including any left over remnants from the first socialist FDR.

Does anybody remember the lyrics of an oldie titled “Waterloo”? “Where will you meet your Waterloo, every dog has his day...etc.’ Can’t recall the rest. Be great if that gut who does the take-offs on Pop songs on Rush could pick up this one, think his name was Shanklin.

LOL, too bad the one he killed wasn’t on his face!
But - those secret ‘spy flies’ are hard to exterminate!

“I believe we are being played by these “blue dogs”.”

Maybe — like the PUMA group before the election.

You had me at “destroy my presidency.” This guy can only talk about himself. He takes everything personally. He is like a whiny five-year-old or an overly emotional teenager.

BINGO! Obama is destroying his own presidency. Unfortunately, he's a product of KGB anti American activities in the 1960s so he has no hope of correcting his disaster. This is all he knows and this is how he thinks. There is no "normal" in his head. Its all communist thinking every minute of his every day. No "normal" base to retreat into. Disaster for America as he and Pelosi relentlessly push the International platform while America watches TV and goes shopping to relieve unemployment anxiety...

It must be a democrat thing. If I remember correctly, it was all about Clintoon too.

I don’t know if you are going after Senators, but Mary Landrieu of Louisiana should be a target. Some say she is lining up against ObamaCare...

I live in Moore’s district and he knows exactly how I feel about the health care proposals. I’d say the odds of him supporting the president on this are about 60:40, maybe more since his seat is safe. But if enough people make their displeasure clear then that may push him into opposition.

He should also be given the Ammunition salesman’s award too. Ammunition has skyrocketed in price and is flying off the shelves.

“0bama is destroying his presidency along with the country just fine on his own.
Good for the Blue Dogs for slowing his march of destruction, but we’re still going to toss them all out along with the rest of 0bama’s party in 2010.”

Oklahoma has a blue dog in that dogpile and HE voted for the Crap and Trade....and came home to a real earfull. He knows he is doomed and is trying to make up for his voting with holding out on this vote. THEY are working for us....they should be totally voting for us, period!

Prudence keeps me from saying what I think he should be given regarding ammunition. I will say that I'm amazed when at the store that there's shotgun shells stacked everywhere, but pistol cartridges are not to be found.

Nuther thing to metion to these congess critters. Unlike judges, they do not have a lifetime job and possibly after the very next election cycle, they might find themselves out here with the rest of us peasants and enjoying the “benefits” of obamacare. AFAIK, congress critters do not get lifetime care as presidents enjoy.
