Well, yeah. Some of us have been pointing that out. Obama fucked us. Then he had a cigarette. And now he’d rather play golf than see us again. Because, well, he’s just not that into us, America.
Best to stop waiting around by the phone. CNS News:
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, told CNSNews.com today that the health-care law that President Barack Obama signed last March is a “platform” for building a single-payer health care system in the United States.
During a newsmakers program at the National Press Club on Monday, Conyers said that after discussing the issue with Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D.-Ohio) he voted for the health-care law because he saw it as a necessary “platform” for building toward a single-payer health-care system in the United States.
What’s so sad about this, from my perspective, is not that Conyers is admitting that ObamaCare is and always has been just an unworkable program designed to bring about an economic “crisis” for insurance companies, allowing the government cover to step in and take over health care entirely (for the children, you see); but rather, that he needed to have this explained to him.
Honestly. They just aren’t making Marxists and fascists like they used to.
(thanks to Dave and Chris B.)
This isn’t news for those of us who know Conyers.
Why would they not show this video to all the Repubs the night before the big vote?
It may not be he needed it explained to him, maybe he just needed reassurance that that’s what it actually did.
It’s not like he was going to read the monstrosity himself…
Well, in all fairness, he was probably bust socking away the remaining boodle after his old lady went down on corruption charges. Amongst other things.

A tip for anyone playing golf with Obama for money. Say “Rasmussen!” in his backswing.
new: that will go over like a lead balloon. Alito is sure to take note as will Kennedy oddly enough (he takes that ‘solemn duty’ stuff to heart). You don’t push the courts around and expect to get off without injury.
alp: do you think the scum actually pays off his bets? Hahahhaha.
No way Steph. And needing a tip to beat Obama at golf is a sure sign to change your grip to a tennis racket.
Jonah adds: “I’ve been kind of out of it here in LA. But it seems to me that Obama’s foreign policy could use a lot more feck, gorm, clue and list.”

Oh, so now he gets to tell a co-equal branch how to do their jobs?
No ego on this guy, no sir…
Co-equal? Ha!

I’m hoping that the Federal smackdown is as good as the one I am hedging my bets on here in WI.
Democrat wants to eliminate fleeing as option to hold up votes.
“Cullen said. But “the institution of the Senate is not well-served going forward by having this particular avenue available.”
So, we might be having a consitutional throwdown here. And I also wonder if there are any Democrats willing to join with the Republican’s in Impeachment proceedings. The report that one of R’s called a D and asked him if he made it out okay; way back when this all started had me suspicious. Combine that will the apparent division amongst the D’s and I have to wonder jusst how far the alliances go?
I’m in a wild speculation mode. I admit it.
Isn’t that convenient, Mr B? They’re hedging that they’re going to get a majority back soon, and this will keep Republicans from fleeing the state if Dems try to reverse what the Repubs did.
The Dems fully expect to win this fight in the long run. If they do, we’ve lost the war.
I’m not really sure what I expected; aside from some sort of reprimand of the fleeing 14. Instead, all I see is hugs, kisses, and all should be forgotten…? It makes me ill that the compromise and concessions always seem to be a one way street. On the bright side, you never know what tomorrow will bring. I’ll just anticipate the R’s caving on something. And be pleasantly surprised when they don’t. Maybe the politcal fallout from this will pay big dividends in the end.
The quote from Miller really frosts my ass though.
“It was essential for us to move forward,” said Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller (D-Monona). “We needed to be able to return to some sense of normalcy in our day-to-day operations.”
