Like I told you the other day: Its all about the O. Isnt it always?
Grassley said he spoke with a Democratic House member last week who shared Obamas 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.
Lets 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 wasnt going to pass if there werent some changes made and the president says, Youre going to destroy my presidency.
Consider this a complete vindication of DeMints 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 couldnt agree more, and with good reason. If he cant deliver on his centerpiece policy goal with bulletproof majorities in Congress, not only will it haunt him in 2012 but hell have to reconsider the publics appetite for the whole Hopenchange/Great Society agenda. Failure wouldnt destroy his presidency so much as it would destroy his presidency as he imagined it; hed 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 hed be before he was sworn in and started pushing 13-digit deficits.
Heres Krauthammer from last nights Special Report explaining the stakes and why, in the end, Obama will swallow whatever watered-down crap Congress hands him. Hint: Its all about the O.

It became clear to me why Obama wanted a stimulus package that wouldn't kick in for a couple years, if at all. He needs high unemployment because when people lose their jobs they lose their health insurance. When they lose their helth insurance, they are more likely to go along with socialized medicine.
Obama planned to hurt this country so that he could implement his Marxist brand of socialism. Just wait until he nationalizes the oil companies. The Continental shelf, ANWR, Bakken field and oil shale will yield a large booty for the democrats to give to friends and supporters.
A big AMEN!!!! to your post. God help the USA
zero: Whatever gave you the impression that I had anything else in mind?
The real victims here are the American public, who are going to get stuck with an ill-considered piece of junk. Obama’s presidency won’t be “over” if this bill doesn’t pass. Is it too much to ask Congress to act responsibly and thoughtfully?
And, that would be a bad thing because.......???
Actually, that would be the best thing that ever happened to America!!
Obama is like a spoiled child. He is not able to accept responsibility for his OWN actions. If something goes wrong, it's always someone else's fault!
LOL. I thought this was not about Obama? Didnt he just say that?
On MSNBC K.O. (David Schuster host) they are claiming failure of this bill will hurt republicans, delusional!!!
Perhaps Democrats are seeing their own destruction if they follow Obama over the abyss.
Yeah 0 will send his thugs out to convince them it's for their own good.
WATERLOO TIME....NOW OR NEVER!
I love this week, Obama is coming unhinged and teacher’s pet finally got his first D. I’d love it even more but this tool has the nuclear football and command over our armed forces.
Does anyone else hear Jimmy Carter laughing softly in the Background??
Bush’s Fault?
We need a photshopped pic of Napoleon with Obama’s face.
Thank you.
We must keep pressure on the Blue Dogs as well as our own reps.
and thank the reps that REPRESENT THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA!
Will the democrats MARTYR him by labor Day?..
You know, convert him into Barry Half-White
crooning hopenchange and “show me the money”...
The funeral(s) would be like scratching on a blackboard..
as the main stream media installed him as political saint..
Joe Biden would indeed make a better Prez.. tho..
as long as he lasted with the Hildebeast as VeeP..
You know before the trajic airplane accident..
that would install her nibs as Prez..
