I’m confused. Last week Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) said if she could vote for Obamacare again, she would. Now for some reason she’s completely distancing herself from it?
If you are to believe this ad, President Obama lied to her constituents. Not her (via Politico)
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
But there’s just one problem here: in 2009 Landrieu herself said if Americans liked their health care plans, they could keep them. Oops:
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
The ad spot above is deceptive and misleading. It puts all the blame on the president, when in truth she built support for -- and ultimately helped pass -- Obamacare. At the same time the ad paints her as a hapless bystander who (ahem) had no idea millions of Americans would lose their health care coverage. And now, of course, the good public servant that she is, she's working hard to “fix” a “glitch” she never saw coming.
I'm skeptical. From Guy’s piece last October:
In September 2010, all Senate Democrats, including Landrieu, voted to reject a plan Republicans said would have killed Obama administration regulations that now have resulted in the cancellation of insurance policies.
Her ad implies she didn’t know this would happen -- which is exceedingly difficult to believe given what you just read. Republicans were ringing the warning bells for years. Democrats ignored them. Now she’s in deep political trouble, so what does she do? She runs ads foisting all the blame on the president of the United States.
I wonder how he feels about this.
A gimmick the GOP better not let her get away with. After being a member of the “Gang of 14” so dedicate to preserving the Senate rules before and preventing the “nuclear option”, she votes with Reid for the “nuclear option” just recently to help Obama stack the courts with radical activists to uphold or create the left wing policies she will now claim to oppose.
Democrats lie about lying. Surprise, surprise.
They are doing this because they want to stay despite how they betrayed the people.
Hope the voters don’t fall for her rather obvious shuck and jive routine.
Democrats - like Republicans - run to the right when it’s election time.
"And that's why I deserve your vote!"
A gimmick the GOP better not let her get away with.”
And which GOP would that be? The one supposedly led by McConnell? They keep kicking gift horses in the mouth and I’m not sure it’s going to stop anytime soon.
Nanzi looks like she just saw the Bopp-Hale comet.
“Nanzi looks like she just saw the Bopp-Hale comet.”
...then, she drank the Kool-Aid and it didn’t take!
Ted Cruz told America to lean on her months ago, but his voice fell on deaf ears.
It’s the crazy eyes and the rising fickle finger of fate, that’s how you tell the poison was cut.
Looks like Obama ain’t the only one lying to their constituents.
Well, she’s doing Job #1 for a congressman...servi...oops I mean getting re-elected.
Someone needs to throw Mary under the brothel....
LOL Whuuut the hay’s up with her hair? (cue the ‘It’s aliens’ guy)
