He recounted how one Republican strategist reportedly advised GOP lawmakers to resist compromise and “go for the kill” on health care.
And he referred again to the comments of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who recently said that health care could be Obama’s “Waterloo” — the battle that spells his end.
They’re talking about “breaking me,” Obama said, “when it’s really the American people who are being broken.”
I wish DeMint hadn’t said that. sheesh, can they keep their mouths shut for once? Now Obama is making the people that don’t want this plan look like the only reason that they don’t want it is to see him fail. That fires up his base. republicans better learn how to play this chess match or they will lose every time.
I think we should send him tons of post cards with only that word on them. This scares him. I am thrilled with Jim DeMint and that analogy.
