NO Mr. President! Your GIANT EGO (”it’s not about me”) is what is going to destroy your presidency!!!! Best destroy your presidency than the nation!!!
Hopefully the courage of the “Blue Dogs” will not wavier in the face of cleary the gangster tatics to come!
It’s not about Blue Dog courage. I wouldn’t trust their courage as far as I can throw Obama’s 30-ton ego.
What it’s about is the constituents of the Blue Dog Democrats learning about what’s in these bills, indeed, learning the fact that Congress isn’t even writing bills anymore but that the lobbyists and the congressional staff are creating huge slush funds of unheard of amounts of money to be doled out by bureaucrats to control the intimate details of everyone’s life for decades to come.
It’s the constituents of the Blue Dog Democrats who hold the key. If the BDDs understand that their electoral success is tied to the defeat of these “bills,” they aren’t going to sacrifice their futures to save Zero’s butt (which is what “his presidency” is—his butt).
But if they think that crafting a “compromise” that gets 90% of Zero’s agenda through while giving the impression that the “evil” first draft was defeated will placate voters, get them reelected while also placating BamBam,
THEY’LL DO IT.
Information is the key here. People have to inform people, their friends, family, students, employers what’s really in these “bills.” And then people have to push back at their legislators.
But the “courage of the Blue Dog Democrats”—that’s not worth wasting any of your time on. Political forces have to win this battle, as they always have to win or lose political battles.
Courage and Democrats do not fit in the same breath.
The “blue dogs” will fold, they are Democrats after all. They have no moral compass.
