At least Toyota owners didn’t run all drivers of other cars off the road
Still, welcome to the real world!
On the topic that brought us such hits as “I never campaigned on the Public option” and “Obama shames the centrists” come…several twists at once.
As the tabloid covers show, Obama now is not so much into healthcare, in fact he actually predicted its demise
Obama admits health care overhaul may die on Hill
No, maybe he can’t.. . President Barack Obama, who insisted he would succeed where other presidents had failed to fix the nation’s health care system, now concedes the effort may die in Congress.
On the other hand, his political henchman, the one who puts words on TOTUS was declaring at the same time
Asked about health-care reform, Axelrod said: “We want to move rapidly on that. The president feels as great a sense of urgency as every about this.”
the context being his retort to Al Franken’s complains of lack of leadership – of which he made light
“At the end of it, as I was watching Senator Franken, I thought to myself: However this turns out, I’m good, I’m smart, and doggone it, people like me.’ So I was OK with it.”
It’s a good thing he’s OK with it, while telling the press the opposite thing Obama reads from TOTUS. I don’t blame democrats in congress for being somehow lost or, as Politico puts it, “chaffing”
And some Democrats feel that every time they look to White House for clarity, they hear something different, as though the strategy is whatever the president or his top advisers said that day.
Take the past two weeks. Since Democrats lost the Massachusetts Senate race, Obama or his top advisers have suggested all of the following: breaking the bill into smaller parts, keeping it together in one comprehensive package, putting it at the back of legislative line and needing to “punch it through” Congress, as Obama himself said Tuesday.
and as seen yesterday, some of the different directions are coming at the same time.
Maybe that is a good moment to reminisce the good ol times, when Obama was invincible, unlike that horrible, horrible Bill Clinton.
Tom Daschle had declared “opposite day” on anything Clinton did:
Remember the good ol’ times when Daschle was advising Obama to do “Anything but Clinton” to succeed on HCR?
Now as Obama’s point-person on health care, Daschle’s approach is a simple philosophy of ABC – Anything But Clinton – that he’ll start to lay out at his confirmation hearing Thursday for secretary of health and human services.
Daschle wants an overhaul plan moving on Capitol Hill by spring. Clinton waited almost a full year. Daschle wants lawmakers to take the lead in drafting it. Clinton kept the job inside the White House.
And while Daschle was never confirmed and Obama had to apologize for his nomination,
Seems Obama’s speech to the senators was only his warm up. He now tells everyone the bill is dying – blaming of course congress for it in spite of his confusing messages

It was made at the time the first attempt of including anti-abortion provisions in in the HCR was defeated in the Senate.
The Planned Parenthood stooge was brimming with confidence and enthusiasm at te number of women they bamboozled again (after having sold them out in 2008).
Howard Dean is justifying fielding pro-life candidates in 2006 – his famous 50 states strategy did this to us.
“Those candidates are so much better on all the other issues”
(n other words, who cares about women’s rights – we get our numbers)
No mention is made of Tim Kaine – the present anti-choice DNC chairman – and who appointed him.
Bart Stupak is announcing surprised women: “We (pro-life Democrats) have always been there. That, and his readiness to vote for a bill that kills Roe vs Wade.
Interestingly, he resents being called “anti-abortion” “I am pro-life”. Make sure you always use that, or better yet – “anti-choice”.
Watch it. Get angry.
And remember why all women had to jump on Palin and vote for Obama.
The BO spokesperson told Todd that they would use any means necessary to beat Hillary and if women were offended, they would come back to the party during the GE because their plan was to “play the Roe v. Wade card.”
How Planned Parenthood endorsed Obama over Hillary. How Howard Dean stole votes from Hillary and gave them to Obama.
Oh, and vote in the poll as well.
Nothing says hope and change like promoting Bush holdovers
Obama Chooses Terrible Nominee to Head the DEA
For all the recent rhetoric about changing the focus of our drug policy and moving beyond the war mentality that’s gripped this issue for decades, the White House now plans to promote a Bush Administration holdover who couldn’t more perfectly embody the ugly history we’re all working so hard to put behind us.
Aparently, this is someone with an obsession against medical marijuana – to the point of putting cancer patients in jail.
In B0botland there’s groaning and eye-rolling

I ran out of straws with this guy a long time ago. My damn back is broken. |
Hope a Dope strikes again
I bet Rahm is extra happy. Doubleplus happy.

19. Incredibly stupid. All his moves since MA have been in the wrong direction.

He’s not going to be a great president. More like Hoover than even Reagan.

One remembers the last rally
Didn’t I just read,
His walk can’t find his talk.
Hate to say it, told you so right then and there
They are THIS close to “Jr.jr”
36. When DUers said Bush wouldn’t leave office on Jan. 20, 2009, they weren’t kidding.
