Yes, I actually read somewhere (I think it was the Washington Post, believe it or not) that he had been told that the Dems basically told him to support this or they would support his impeachment. They’re desperate.
My translation is various Democrats are mightily pissed at Obama because his detached lifestyle hurts their re-election chances. If not for an upcoming election most would not care.
No one every leaves DC these days. Its a boom town and no elected Democrat wants to get the boot from “heaven”. Factor in wives who are addicted to the opulent kiss-ass DC lifestyle....You can have divorces if the Dem loses his elective office.
I am sure every Senators and Reps wife gets their arse kissed at spas, hairdressers, etc. There are always tables available for them at the hottest restaurants etc
