I hope you didn’t interpret my post to indicate that I believe Obama and the other Dems care about Rep. Giffords or her well-being or her priorities, any more than they really cared about Wellstone or the others they exploit. Her usefulness to them is as a symbol and a sacred cow, not an actual human being.
Sadly, it will not surprise me if Obama uses Rep. Giffords like he uses others for his own advantage and then casts them aside. The question I ask is will Rep. Giffords come back to the House at all?
