He had to be off the teleprompter when he said that. No decent speech writer would refer to something that is supposed to be historic in a good way (which the libs think nationalizing the health insurance industry is) as a "precipice".
He's either got really bad speech writers, or this is proof positive, yet again, that he is truly dumb as a box of Marxist rocks.
I agree. Democrats are about to plunge over the precipice into the abyss. It was a remarkable word choice. Crash and burn comes to mind.
