Obama goes after GOP senator DeMint on health care...fucking A!!!!

[spanone]

With the health care debate heating up, President Obama went after a prominent Republican Senator today.

Obama did not call out Sen. Jim DeMint, but did cite a recent comment by the conservative South Carolinian: "If we're able to stop Obama on this, then it will be his Waterloo -- it will break him."

"Think about that," Obama said after touring Children's National Medical Center. "This isn't about me. This isn't about politics. This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses, and breaking America's economy."

2. Awesome

Called that Fer out. People need to hear that loud and clear. They're resistance has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility. It's all about getting Obama.

3. took too damned long, Mr. President.

They have been fighting dirty for a month, and only now you step out of your bubble and start an offensive. (OK, every single president gets bubbled, and it is very comfortable) That means we and you have squandered 29 days. And time is of the essence.

5. I sure hope so. May you be right and me very wrong.

But we are fighting three groups.

a) MSM. These corporate owned pinheads are toeing the company line, ie, socialism is coming.

b) Big Insurance. They are pouring in money, threats, bribes to everyone, and have already turned several Ds.

c) the Failing GOP. These buffoons are actually organized (for a change) and are working hard to fuck our nation, our administration, and our future with national health care for all.

10. i hope so too. i think they've shown their strategy.

14. It is not the buffoons in congress so much as the health insurance companies.

They have to keep the money train moving or go on welfare.

6. But it is about Obama...

...for a lot of these people. He's an African-American in the White House and that bothers far more people than will admit it to you, me or themselves.

7. 3/4 of the nation can, does and will look past color.

Most of the southeastern part of the country, where the GOP retains some strength, does feel like that.

9. yes, but enough believed in him to VOTE for him....that's my faith in america

8. Well done.

If he really wants reform, he'd better not play the GOP's empty, masturbatory games.
