It’s-All-About-Me Of The Day
How many times have we heard the president say the health care reform bill is ‘not about me’.
One Congressional Hispanic Caucus member told POLITICO that Obama won him over by essentially (saying) that the fate of his presidency hinged on this week’s health reform vote in the House. The member, who requested anonymity, likened Obama’s remarks to an earlier meeting with progressives when the president said a victory was necessary to keep him strong for the next three years of his term.
Another caucus member, Rep. Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.), said, “We went in there already knowing his presidency would be weakened if this thing went down, but the president clearly reinforced the impression the presidency would be damaged by a loss.”
White House officials said Obamas recent remarks aren’t intended to personalize the debate or rally undecided Democratic members with an egocentric, win one for Barry message.
Like most things coming out of this White House, bullshit.

So, it’s not about health care, not even medical services insurance. Just like it wasn’t about preserving the fish, at the expense of human lives and welfare. Is there anything in these people’s lives other than ego?

Is it POSSIBLE to weaken a Presidency more than he already has?

Mauser:
I would guess that it is. There are too many sadomasochists who are enjoying this show from both perspectives.

Apparently not. When I saw the video of Obama’s response to the Fort Hood massacre I knew at once that the man has no soul.

Wasn’t Jose Serrano the genius who tried to repeal Obama’s term limits?

JR, you are correct, sir.
H.J.Res.5 – Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.

re: JR, you are correct, sir.
Or madam, as the case may be.
