After 16 long years, it appears the D-baggers are ready to again trade seats in Congress to try and get their disasterous and highly unpopular healthcare bill passed. The Community Organizer in Chief is set to read a teleprompter tomorrow telling the D-baggers in Congress to go forward with the nuclear option to pass the healthcare bill in the face of massive opposition.
All I have to say is… good for them. Go teach those stupid constituents a lesson or two about the way things work in Chicago Washington politics.
Oh, but a word of caution… just watch where your party is standing when you detonate the damn thing. It may be generations before they collect all the pieces.
UPDATE: Obama campaigned on change… but as expected, he’s just another politician who says one thing on the campaign trail and does just the opposite once given the keys to the office…
Couple of money quotes from the clip…
“My understanding of the Senate is that you need 60 votes to get something significant to happen…”
and…
“The bottom line is that our healthcare plans are similar, the question once again is, ‘Who can get it done?’ Who can build a movement for change? This is an area where we’re gonna have to have a 60 percent majority in the Senate and the House in order to actually get a bill to my desk. We’re gonna have to have a majority to get a bill to my desk. That is not just a 50 plus one majority.
and…
“You gotta break outta what I call the sort of 50 plus one pattern of presidential politics. Maybe you eke out a victory of 50 plus one, then you can’t govern.” You know, you get Airforce One, there are a lot of nice perks, but you can’t deliver on healthcare. We’re not going to pass universal healthcare with a 50 plus one strategy.
and…
“Fixing our healthcare system… If we want to transform the country though, that requires a sizeable majority.”
There’s only one appropriate response to anything Obama says…
UPDATE 2:And so it goes…
