Taking a Leak on the Public

The President traveled to The Hill on Saturday to pull the wobblers in his party together (who are sweating over the 2010 midterm elections) to vote on DeathCare. Some of those conversations are starting to leak out and show his true disdain for the people he serves.

 According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the President asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” (Democratic voters) “and it will encourage the extremists.”

Another freshman Democrat from New Mexico, Representative Martin Heinrich, said the President’s comments overall were reassuring. “If you want to see a recipe for failure,” Mr. Heinrich said, “don’t do the things you talked about in your campaigns and turn your back on your base. All the independent voters in the world don’t matter if the Democrats don’t turn out.”

“This is an opportunity to do something as big as Social Security,” he added. “And me, personally, I don’t want to be on the wrong side of history.”

Guess what, Mr. President? Your utter contempt for the Constitution and the people you are sworn to serve already has you on the wrong side of history.

This is the guy that the majority of Americans wanted to lead the country? Seriously?
