House Democrats hit boiling point over perceived lack of White House support
Washington Post ^ | 7/14/10 | Paul Kane

House Democrats are lashing out at the White House, venting long-suppressed anger over what they see as President Obama's lukewarm efforts to help them win reelection -- and accusing administration officials of undermining the party's chances of retaining the majority in November's midterm elections.

In recent weeks, a widespread belief has taken hold among Democratic House members that they have dutifully gone along with the White House on politically risky issues -- including the stimulus plan, the health-care overhaul and climate change -- without seeing much, if anything, in return. Many of them are angry that Obama has actively campaigned for Democratic Senate candidates but has done fewer events for House members.

The boiling point came Tuesday night during a closed-door meeting of House Democrats in the Capitol. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) excoriated White House press secretary Robert Gibbs's public comments over the weekend that the House majority was in doubt and that it would take "strong campaigns by Democrats" to avert dramatic losses.

"What the hell do they think we've been doing the last 12 months? We're the ones who have been taking the tough votes," Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (N.J.) said in an interview Wednesday.

Well Bill, I’ll tell you what you have been doing for starters:

1.  Selling out America

2.  Abdicated your Constitutional duties and responsibilities

3.  Engineering legislation which is antithetical to the America and its Constitution

4.  Provide profit and power for personal gain

5.  Commit Larceny as largess of the citizenry to “Friends of Government”

6.  Supported America’s enemies foreign and domestic

7.  Undermined America’s Borders

8.  Promoted Illegal Aliens to roam America Freely

9.  Have not enforced Federal Law

10.Institutionalized Racism

Shall I go on…

Obama to House Dems: Hey guys, I thought you KNEW you were expendable. Good luck with your new careers.

The people who supported Zero overlooked a WHOLE lot, so I have no sympathy whatsoever.

The Rat approach to elections is to elect anybody who will pimp and sign their agenda. Competence means nothing, just get him there and he’ll B.S. his way through it (with the media running a lot of interference). Works great until he hits a situation that requires some competence and leadership. Zero has hit a few of those situations and has demonstrated repeatedly that he couldn’t run a McDonald’s kitchen, much less a country.

As long as Obama gets his agenda voted in before losing control of Congress, he don’t care about their re-election.

You know you could almost feel sorry for them. But they were warned over and over that they were doing this to themselves. The were being used like the cheap whores they were.

Yes, Democrats: Save yourselves. Because neither Obama nor Pelosi can, and God *wont*. He’ll cast you down.

Obama doesn’t really care if both Houses of Congress turn Republican. In fact, in some ways he would prefer it. Then, he would get all of the credit for his “transformation” of America. Plus, once the Dems are gone, he can more easily start his race war by blaming white Repubs for all the ills that are preventing his redistribution of the wealth, And when he stages his final coup with his gangs of urban Brown Shirts, he won’t have to worry about sharing the power.

Hey, Brownshirts! November 2 will be the Night of the Long Knives! You were Obama's useful idiots, but soon you idiots will no longer be useful.

Auf Wiedersehen...

Hey, I must have written a hundred comments pleading with Democrat politicians to rid themselves of POTUS Barack Hussein Obama by getting him to resign or impeach him or.....POTUS Obama would take them down with him. All of those comments went totally unheeded, just as I expected. Now they are crying like little babies that they supported him, but are getting nothing in return. Democrat dudes and chicks, you have been royally done in by a flim/flam man and....a bad one at that. Problem is, your leader is radioactive and cannot help your re-election effort if he wanted too!!! Me, I am overjoyed!!! Stew in your self-made juice, idiots!!! You were duly warned!!!

Dear liberals - a of your sacrifices will prove to have been in vain. Indeed, not just your careers, but your very lives.

Tough.

If you wanted to be re-elected you’d have defied Obama’s agenda. Reap what you sowed.

The question is, will Zero pull a Clinton, and move to the center, or will he continue his uber-liberal agenda. I suspect the latter, and he is probably quite willing to throw the entire Dim congressional delegation under the bus, to continue his goal of “fundamentally transforming this country”.

Hopefully, The Messiah will go out and campaign for this scum. Yeah, he does have long coattails this year, but they are the coattails of an undertaker.

Here’s a song that truly expresses O’s heartfelt sympathy for his House Democrats (and for the rest of the country and it’s unemployed):
