Profanity, Anger Spill Over in House Democratic Caucus Meeting
Rollcall.com ^ | December 9, 2010 | By Anna Palmer

The frustration with President Barack Obama over his tax cut compromise was palpable and even profane at Thursday’s House Democratic Caucus meeting.

One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter “f— the president” while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.

“It wasn’t loud,” the Nevada Democrat said. “It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member.”

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) was also overheard saying that “we can’t trust him” not to cave to Republicans and extend the tax cuts again in two years, according to a Democratic source.

The anger aimed at the bill was widespread. As Democrats moved to block the bill from coming up on the floor, chants of “Just say no!” could be heard by reporters outside the room.

Lindsay Graham has been trying so hard on Fox News lately. It’s agony to watch him.

I think it would be better for our side if this current deal falls apart. Then, in January with a majority in the House, and the people outraged after realizing how much they’re income taxes just increased, the Senate will have to pass it and Obama will have to sign it.

Jerry Springer was formerly a Democrat politician IIRC. Now we know why. Not a bad lame duck session so far.

So, let me see if I have this correct....you direct a statement toward the occupant of the Office of President of the USA which is demeaning, insulting, non-PC, using terminology which some may consider to be profane and vulgar, yet you do it “quietly,” then all is okay?

Clare "Lovepat" McKaskill would probably call it a "term of endearment".

They should have had a nondescript Republican aide say, “Yeah and find his birth certificate too!”

He’s not guilty of saying it...just of wanting to do it.
