You can take the community organizer out of Chicago, but you can’t take the Chicago out of the community organizer. Or as the Agence France-Presse headline put it, “Combative Obama Warns Supreme Court on Health Law.”

But, here as there, when Obama “warns” the Supreme Court “over health law,” it’s their health prospects he has in mind.

” Maybe Republicans will say no to him.

They will.... NO PROBLEM<OBAMA
“Contemptible” is more like it.
“How does this guy remember the lyrics to that ditty that’s about 50 years old? “
I believe he got his profession start as a DJ and writing about show tunes and other popular music. When something is your profession, you tend remember details for long periods of time. He switched to political writing rather recently, I believe.
