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. "

He’s destroying his own presidency by overreaching and pushing his radical socialist agenda. He has no one to blame but himself.

‘You’re going to destroy my presidency. “
That’s some hope and change I can go for.
“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.”
never underestimate the self serving nature of any congressman. Obamma needs them a he’ll of a lot more than they need him, as I’m sure their voters are telling them.
phone callers often do not get asked their address.
Also Google Maps is your friend to locate your address in the district.
one can only hope!
Re: #21
He really does throw like a girl.
mincing fairy!
bump for later
Obmama is distroying his Presidency all by himself.
I hate to be the party pooper, but I don’t see that happening.
I count the 2 GOP Senators from Maine to be as good as a Dem vote.
These days I love being wrong, so I hope that you are right.
God Bless those Dems who are trying to stop this insanity, the blue dogs.
Rush said not to count on the Blue Dogs. Repeat of the PUMA’s.
But they should be worried about their careers in 2010, not Obama’s in 2012.
The scheme is, since the Democrats have a 40-odd advantage, they let the "Blue Dogs" vote against the party when they already have enough votes. But when they really need them, Rahm twists some arms, and they vote as they're told. The fact that they sometimes (or maybe even usually) vote against their party is MEANINGLESS if their party wins the vote anyway. Meanwhile, their constituents are placated nearly all the time.
With Obama it’s ME ME ME, it’s all about ME. However, I wish DeMint had not said that. The Rpublicans never miss a chace to give them things to spin.
Callers often do not get asked their address.
Blue Dog Democrats supposedly “on the fence” about healthcare. A polite call expressing your concern about the current bill under consideration is greatly appreciated.
