Obama Begs Dems on Healthcare: My Presidency Is On the Line
Isn’t this the same guy who said, “this isn’t about me”, when the word Waterloo came up? Tune of change!
One 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.”
Added Serrano: “He was subtle, but that was the underlying theme of the meeting — the importance of passing this for the health of the presidency.”…
“The White House is raising the stakes so high, they are basically telling [House Democrats] that failure is not an option unless you want to sink the president,” said health industry lobbyist Steve Elmendorf, a onetime adviser to Rep. Dick Gephardt, a former Democratic leader.
Poor ego bruised because America rejected his push for socialism. Heart strings just may push over enough Dems though. In the feeble attempt some of those wavering Dems might listen to my common sense..here it goes…Obama’s presidency is already doomed. All you will do by voting for this is seal your fate along with his.
How absolutely pitiful.

As a blogger, I forget who, pointed out earlier, Obama’s message to Dems is, you help me now by your voting yes and you’ll take the fall for me in November. Only a stone librul Dem congressperson is dumb enough to fall for this lame offer.
The destruction of the USA is immaterial: it’s all about O.
Just so I understand the logic. Vote directly against the people in your district and the majority of the rest of the country so that Obama can keep governing against the wishes of the people in your district and the rest of the country. What a deal!
Well said, Dave B.
And the worst of it is that the whole nation will suffer in the long run and could end up as a third world country in less than a decade, if this bill is made into law.
Pray and work for the salvation of this great nation that is at the crossroads of potential disaster.
“I promise to uphold the Constitution…” is now and empty promise.Thankyou-President44.
