Obama Pleads With Dems to Pass His Health Bill (Obama pleads with Rats to take political suicide)

President Barack Obama summoned more than a dozen Democrats from the House of Representatives to the White House, pleading with them to put aside their qualms and vote for his massive health care overhaul.

In back-to-back meetings Thursday, Obama urged uneasy rank-and-file moderates and progressives to focus on the positives rather than their deep disappointment with parts of the bill. The lawmakers said Obama assured them the legislation was merely the first step, and he promised to work with them in the future to improve its provisions.

It's the opportunity of a generation, he told them -- and a chance to revive the party's agenda after his rough first year in office.

"The president very pointedly talked about how important this is historically," said Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva, "how he needs our help." Obama told them that "'this is an opportunity, it'll give us momentum"' on other issues, the congressman said.

Pitiful! It is all about what is good for the Democratic Party, not what is good for the country! And they aren't even ashamed to admit it!

Don't you just love this: .....Obama urged uneasy rank-and-file moderates and progressives to focus on the positives rather than their deep disappointment with parts of the bill.

I did not think they begged in Chicagoland. Usually involves someone named Guido.

IN November 1978, this guy urged a bunch of people to drink HIS Kool-Aid.

tell the pantywaist preschooler to eat drink some more beer. get out an give another speech when in a drunken stupor like he delivered after celebrating his wife’s birthday. no woner the teleprompter, he is drunk. America has another Ulysses S. Grant - drunk in the Whitehouse. instead of the RATS committing suicide, the pantywaist needs to do America a favor

[aeonspromise]

He wants thm to do what he is so good at, throwing away their principles for his legacy..

[Renderofveils]

This is a good death. There's no shame in this, in a man's death. A man who has done fine works. We're making a better world. All of them better worlds.

I hear a fellow on Mark Levin’s show and again on George Norry’s Coast to Coast, I think his name was John Lott. He was a professor and co-worker of Obama’s at University of Chicago and gave a chilling and detailed account of type of mental defective we have in the White House. This guy chronicled his interaction with Obama, the erratic behaviour, the melancholy disposition, his lack of social etiquette and common courtesy. How in the middle of a conversation Obama would just get very quiet, turn and walk away, like someone who has serious psychophysical issues. Obama is what Glenn Beck thinks he is, a sociopath, an evil megalomaniac, a liar, and an genuine evil person with a black soul(no pun intended).

A “Pied Piper” he isn’t...........

I know that Oprah is persona non grata around here, but the title of this thread reminds me of a recent Oprah interview with Jim Jones, Jr., the adopted son of the mastermind of the Jonestown mass suicide. He happened to be away from the compound playing in a basketball tournament and survived although his own father tried to persuade him over the phone to commit suicide also. I was 28 years old when it occurred, but I had never seen the footage that was recorded of Jim Jones persuading the people over the loud speaker to give the poison to their children first and then take it themselves "quickly, quickly, quickly.....". IMO, Obama has characteristics similar to this mass murderer.

The first step toward Socialism.

Reminds me of my ex law partner, especially the part about getting up and leaving in the middle of a conversation.
