Congressman Leonard Boswell (D-Des Moines, Iowa): "The president (said), 'I'm not going to kick the can down the road.' And he said that and I said, 'Well, that's something I'm kind of used to from southern Iowa, you know. I know about kicking the can down the road.' And he said, 'No, if it makes me a one-term president, I'm going to, we're going to take it on because the country is in need of us taking this on.' I respected that very much."

Mr. Boswell, are you willing to accept that this may be your last ride if you vote for Obamacare, as well?
I love how these politicians act as if they’re entitled to the job and they would be willing to “sacrifice” it for the greater good
How about a “1/2 term” President for not kicking your credentials out in the open, farmboy?
One Term yes but for 30 years....
This only shows that Obama knows how devastating this
policy will be to America, if he is willing to give up
a second term for it.
Obama is ready to be a one term president? Sounds like he knows Mossad has evidence he was born in Canada. Momma got pregnant by daddy’s friend,Frank Marshall Davis, and they paid Obama to be the husband. That way momma got free delivery in Vancouver. Gram got the Certification of Live Birth so Obama could claim to be a citizen and get those handouts.
My respect for Obama has grown tremendously. He’s willing to only serve one term so long as he can destroy our health care system. What a patriot. I’m sure this rep is telling the truth. Obama and the left do not care one bit what the people think about what they are trying to do. They are going to do their best to shove it through no matter what.
One term President..Heck I want his ass out now.
Since this plan wouldn’t kick in until 2013, I wonder what the odds are that Republicans could take over majorities in 2010 and undo this disaster. I mean just pass legislation to outlaw it.
Hopefully Iowa will vote this jerk Boswell out. The state that helped give us Obama is Iowa. Helped by ACORN thugs crashing the Iowa caucas.
Naive, stupid, midwestern, liberal white people.
“Oh gee whiz I like the Obama feller - he is so clean and well spoken”
Fools.
Nothing against midwesterners but these dopey libs from there are clueless like east and west coast libs. Flyover country people usually have more sense.
Ubama might but I wonder about all the Crats who are getting a lot of loot right now.
I’m from Des Moines, and I can assure you that Leonard Blowswell is a stranger to the truth.
“And he said, ‘No, if it makes me a one-term president, I’m going to, we’re going to take it on because the country is in need of us taking this on.’ I respected that very much.”
LMAO ... Boswell, what a maroon!
Suits the hell out of me!
Eight years ago I dated a woman from Fairfield who dragged me to one of Boswell's functions. I fully agree with your assessment of the man.
Caucai are different than primaries, us republicans aren’t allowed to go the dem meetings, so I have NO idea what happened there, I have heard things about voter intimidation but have absolutely no proof of that....
There is a new guy running for Blowswell’s seat: http://theiowarepublican.com/home/2009/07/31/dave-funk-announces-congressional-bid-in-iowas-3rd-cd/
I hope you didn’t date her again. ick.
