The Democrats in the famous Obamacare signing photo are rapidly retiring

Seven of the Democratic lawmakers surrounding President Obama when he signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010 are either now out of Congress or on their way out.

As depicted in this Daily Caller graphic, seven smiling Democrats have gone down or out in the last four years.

Among the retirees:

Tom Harkin: The Iowa senator announced last year that he will step down after completing his fifth term in 2015. Chris Dodd: The Connecticut Democrat chose not to run for re-election in 2010 and now works as a lobbyist for the motion picture industry. John Dingell: Michigan congressman Dingell announced his retirement Monday, effective at the end of this year, after nearly six decades in the House. Patrick Kennedy: The Rhode Island Democrat’s 2011 retirement marked the first time since 1947 that no Kennedys were in Congress. That phenomenon was short-lived.

Every single person in that photo except the little boy should be serving a long prison sentence.

I thought that was Gary Coleman.

“They did their dirty work so why stay around.”

Nah, they have their own internal polling that shows that all of them are going to be in the “real minority” till after they’re all dead, so they are “going home to be with their families!”

From the look on Pelosi’s over botoxed face, he may have or he found the on switch on her personal you know what.

“Not nearly enough are retiring and the idiot voter majorities in their districts and states won’t retire them.”

I agree.

Makes one wonder if we get control of both houses, how many of the Obozo Care Act will run off to countries without any extradition with America.
