Like I told you the other day: It’s all about the O. Isn’t it always?
Grassley said he spoke with a Democratic House member last week who shared Obama’s bleak reaction during a private meeting to reports that some factions of House Democrats were lining up to stall or even take down the overhaul unless leaders made major changes.
“Let’s just lay everything on the table,” Grassley said. “A Democrat congressman last week told me after a conversation with the president that the president had trouble in the House of Representatives, and it wasn’t going to pass if there weren’t some changes made … and the president says, ‘You’re going to destroy my presidency.’”
Consider this a complete vindication of DeMint’s point, which Obama pretended to take such offense at, that if the GOP defeats ObamaCare, “it will be his Waterloo, it will break him…” Evidently The One couldn’t agree more, and with good reason. If he can’t deliver on his centerpiece policy goal with bulletproof majorities in Congress, not only will it haunt him in 2012 but he’ll have to reconsider the public’s appetite for the whole Hopenchange/Great Society agenda. Failure wouldn’t destroy his presidency so much as it would destroy his presidency as he imagined it; he’d have to remake himself as a sort of Clintonian centrist and become the “pragmatist” all those thoughtful conservatives like David Brooks and Christopher Buckley promised us he’d be before he was sworn in and started pushing 13-digit deficits.
Here’s Krauthammer from last night’s “Special Report” explaining the stakes and why, in the end, Obama will swallow whatever watered-down crap Congress hands him. Hint: It’s all about the O.

Destroy his presidency, destroy the country? Decisions, decisions.
My reply to obamma: “You’re going to destroy my country”.
We can only hope!
Yep. Obamacare is the ball-game. If zer0 gets that, then full-scale socialism will follow in short order. Reagan warned us about this.
But, it’s not about him. The MSM told me so!
You say that like it's a BAD thing...
Sniff Sniff!Don’t let the door smack ya in the rear when you leave.Off to Kenya ya go!
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see.......................................
The ONLY party destroying his Presidency is the Imposter-in-Chief himself, and perhaps his puppeteer George Soros.
Face up to it Obama - you are a Marxist and Marxists fail in the American arena.
Perhaps you can emigrate to Venezuela and become vice-president to your buddy Chavez, or go back to your roots in Saudi Arabia.

“You’re going to destroy my presidency”
BUT I thought “O” said in regards to that Waterloo comments, it’s not about him, it’s about the uninsured...so which is it Obie?...or are you just playing both sides...
In other words, "It's all about me"
TOUGH, you ignorant country destroyer.
You are Hitler reborn and a divider not a uniter.
Go to hell!
Ah, the Obamaloon presidency. Soon to be accepted as the most bumbling, corrupt, and incompetent excuse for leadership as could be imagined.
Obama, go home.
And (just between us girls) you know that home is not in this country.

Some people need to be given the rope to hang themself. Others simply take their own rope and “accidentally” hang themselves out of stupidity.
Better him and his presidency than the country.
Note to bambi: this nation has survived just fine without you and your socialism and will do so long after you become a distant but distasteful memory.
DeMint was right.
Krauthammer: “Democrats understand his presidency is over if he gets nothing on health care.”
In other news, Michael Jackson’s doctor’s office in Houston just got raided by the DEA....
