I predicted this back on Christmas when the Senate passed their version. Even before Brown pulled the upset in Mass, I opined that the public had turned against Obamacare so strongly that the House would be the one in the end which killed it.

Just in terms of raw politics, it’s absolutely stunning how Obambi has “run against the Congress” and hung these folks out. to. dry. since the day he ascended to the White House throne. (Didn’t know the White House had a throne? Either did the Founding Fathers.)

In his pathetic SOTU, Obambi constantly ragged on the Senate for not handing him glorious legislative victories on a silver platter, all the while chastising the House that they should be more than willing to commit political suicide in order to do “the right [read: Obambi] thing.”

There is no way in hell a president gets anywhere by telling his own party -— much less telling his own party in embarrassing, disrespectful, contemptuous, sarcastic and self-righteous intonations -— to jump off a cliff like lemmings just because, weirdly, the president “doesn’t mind being a one-term president.”

The man is insane. At least politically speaking.

Today you had Sen Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) saying he “just doesn’t find Obama believable anymore.”

These Rats must be sitting in corners rocking and sucking their thumbs, wondering how in Hell’s Bells did we ever let ourselves make this political dunderhead our candidate, much less our President? Just think of Chuckie Schumer [ http://www.draftlarrykudlow.com ] publicly backing the Hildabeast and privately scheming for an Obama victory -— all because the Rats thought Obambi would be their sock puppet. Ha! Crazy can’t be sock puppet!

For that matter, just think of the fury that must have crossed Hillary’s mind. She told ya, people! She said, what’s he ever done except give a pretty speech? Bubba even called Obambi the “fantasy candidate.” And not even the Rats in Congress lifted a finger to figure out whether an Obambi presidency was or was not a good idea. So they are getting what they deserve. Too bad for the country.

“Super minority” -— I like that! I feel a Freeper graphic coming on.

That’s a good phrase that Rush should pick up.

“Note this statement today in a Politico piece on a “seething feud” between Pelosi and President Obama: “

Hah hah!!! Brings to mind Napoleon’s quote:

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

Time to choose sides, socialist crooks on one side, conservatives on the other and "moderate" retards in the middle.

No holds barred.

Do you do twitter? I will RT you on it, if you give me the info.

I am going to start using it everywhere. Unfortunately, it will not always be possible to adequately give you the hat-tip, but please know, and I am stating right here and now, that this very juicy-to-the-bursting-point turn of the phrase was coined by ArchAngel1983 !!

“... You can’t twist over 100 arms. There needs to be some reality check there.’”

Taken literally, that statement suggests that more than 100 House Democrats are potentially ready to walk away from Obamacare if given the opportunity.
***********************************************
Actually it means that the author needs to re-learn basic math ,, it means that anywhere from 50 to 100 votes are needed ,,, 100/2=50 100/1=100
