Dean Snipes At Obama On Health Care: Voters Were Promised 'Change They Can Believe In'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Somewhere, Lyndon Johnson is smiling. Howard Dean has provided perfect proof of LBJ's adage that when it comes to potential adversaries, "it's better to have them inside the tent p---ing out than outside the tent" doing the reverse.

Barack Obama chucked Dean out of his DNC chairmanship. Adding insult to injury, PBO denied the good doctor any role in his health care initiative. Now, it's payback time. Subbing for Keith Olbermann on this evening's Countdown, Dean depicted Obama as a loser in the health care fight. For good measure, he flung a famous Obama campaign slogan back in the prez's face.

First he was semi-nice to Palin, now this...lol, Dean does not like how Obama’s camp treated him.

As a pre-teen I owned some rats as pets. One of them was somehow injured, and the other rats ate her. It was quite disturbing, and we got rid of the rest of them.

It seems from this that rats have a propensity for eating their own.

Unfortunately by appearing on the Olbermann show only five people saw it.

Get out the popcorn — I think we are going to see much more of this as Obama continues to destroy America and the electorate figures it out. The DNC is going to take a pounding in 2010 — and they are FINALLY getting worried about it. Of course, since their jobs are far more important than the condition of the American Republic.

I’d guarantee that was intentional.

I have two rats and find the use of the word to describe filthy no good politicians insulting to intelligent and affectionate pet rodents.

“As a pre-teen I owned some rats as pets. One of them was somehow injured, and the other rats ate her. It was quite disturbing, and we got rid of the rest of them.”

I think that’s on page 617 of the new health care bill as an ideal model.

The blood continues to flow into the water for all to see except obozo, the liar, he's to busy with golfing, vacations, patting himself on the back and kissing the reflection of himself in the mirror. Reminds me of Nero fiddling while Rome was burning.

We should take a lesson on LBJ's "War on Poverty". Poverty won. It also insured the Democrats of legions of steady voters.

National Healthcare should borrow its name from the disastrous Johnson program. I would call it the "War on Healthcare".

Funny you should mention that. I wouldn't put it past 'rats/internationalists to martyr dear leader to salvage their election/agenda.
