Her Goal? To Be Fatest; My Goal? To Be Least Governed; Who Will Win?

Maybe if we send this lady some cakes she'll reach her goal and we'll get good karma and The Wicked Witch of Congress won't get her 216 votes.

Her goal is to make the Gunniess Book of World Records. Pelousy's goal is to re-engineer America and drag us all, kicking and screaming, into her boiling cauldron. My goal is keep these motherfuckers away from my property.

Who will win?

My optimism is waning, my anger growing.

You damned well know that, if they bring this piece of shit bill to a vote on Sunday -- while most of us of are enjoying early Spring and resting and reflecting, as God intended -- Pelousy has this un-Constitutional Rahm job in the bag.

So be it.

I'm starting to believe there will be riots in the streets if they do. I hope Congresscriminals, and the pResident, are ready for the backlash.

It'll be a reckoning like nothing they've ever seen.

RAHMBO WASH! Rinse Away All Your Political Troubles!

Art by Jamie

Hi! Vince, here. I know I went a little nuts when I beat the hell out of that hooker in Miami. But I'm all better now, since the Democratic Party hired me. And boy have I got a product for you.

Having a tough time getting that last vote? Tired of making backroom deals only to see them evaporate and destroy your political career? Are you one step away from pushing your caucus over the cliff for the sake of a bloated government entitlement?

You won't be with RAHMBO WASH!

It's like a trip to Fort Marcy Park. It's like a drive over the Chappaquiddick with Ted Kennedy but without all the mess. It's like cheating on your taxes and getting away with it!

You see, regular poltical tricks don't work when 60 percent of the country wants your blood. This works scared or crazy ... even whenever selling your mother and strapping your children to the front of a locomotive just isn't enough.

This is for the Oval Office, the Blair House, Congressional chambers, your local townhall meeting!

RAHMBO WASH! cleans away twenty times the political troubles. Look at this! It turns a mild-mannered lameduck Congressmen into a ruthless lying flip flopper. It doesn't drip, doesn't make a mess. You water it down, lather it on Bart Stupak, and you've got your vote, abortion funding and all! And you don't even have to get naked with him in the shower!

It's made in Chicago, you know the Chicago Way always makes good stuff.

You can dump half into an old milk jug, use one to keep your no votes in line, use the other to convince a few Republicans to join your side!

SEIU workers, they use it to grease elections. Look at that! Completely stolen! Here's a bill that hasn't been written, dump some Rasmussen polls, Republican nos, and tea bags on it. Now that is going to smell. See that?

The most cleansing thing -- now we're gonna do this in real time -- look at this! Douse it on the bill, turn it over! Without even putting pressure, fifty percent of it's back to the Senate for reconciliation. The other 50 percent, it's passed with every party member in line!

I don't know, it sells itself!

Now, here's what were gonna do: if you call within the next 20 minutes, because we've been trying to sell this health care bill for a year, we'll throw in the RAHMBO Shower Gel and Scrubbie, both guaranteed to twist your adversary's arm, absolutely free! And we'll even give you a back shave.

You'll be saying I'll be getting cash with RAHMBO WASH! every time.

Here's how to order.

Snarky Photo Reel: Obama's Week in Review #10

Posted on behalf of Jamie.

Some say that The One, Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm, mmm, mmm) ,

Snarky Photo Reel: Obama's Week in Review #10

The pResident Is a Fucking Liar

And he's giving you the bird.

We know that.

But there’s a good percentage of the American people who don’t. How can they when the Campaigner in Chief has a bully pulpit in TOTUS and keeps shitting lies from his mouth like this one from yesterday’s Obamacare Redux campaign stop in liberal Philly: “Every year, [insurance companies] raise premiums higher and higher. Just last month, Anthem Blue Cross in California tried to jack up rates by nearly 40%.”

Them’s high falutin’, drama-charged, fear-mongering words.

The problem is, they’re completely twisted, especially when you consider that Cauli-for-nia’s business community is in shambles, its unemployment rate a full three percent higher than the national average. How many unemployed people keep their former company’s insurance? Fact is, Anthem now has a smaller pool of insurers from which to earn their nut … and pay out claims. Um … earth to the pResident’s teleprompter: smaller pool = bigger costs. (The guy might understand if he actually had ever held a real job in the private sector).

And why is business unusual and unemployment soaring in Cauli-for-nia? Federal (translation: Regressive) regulations have crippled Cauli-for-nia's industry and agriculture, and moonbat state laws and throttling taxes have sent businesses fleeing as if The Big One were about to dump the entire west coast into the Pacific.

But even aside from Cauli-for-nia's problems (which WILL spread to the rest of America if we don't stop this regime), time and time again the sane among us have made the point that the insurance industry isn’t raping us:

• Health Insurers Make Lousy Villains
• Health Insurers’ Profits Not So Fat
• AP’s Woodward Fact-Checks Health Insurance Company Profits, Finds Them ‘Anemic’

The list goes on and on and fucking on. Hell, why let a few facts get in the way? If facts aren’t good enough for the MSM, they’re surely not good enough for the pResident of the United States.

You could make a hell of a lot better profit margin brewing beer than selling insurance [CLICK THE CHART TO THE RIGHT, from here ... and insurance companies earn $100 - $200 per policy, according to newer figures] -- that is until 2010, when, apparently, even our drunks realized they’d be better off stuffing their beer money in mattresses rather than buying rounds at the local bar.

That would certainly explain the resurgence in .99 cent Pabst Blue Ribbon draft specials I’ve seen lately around Atlanta. I'd rather drink rot gut. Obama’s legacy will probably be a still in every garage.

Therein lies reality: For all of Zero’s talk about jobs jobs jobs -- and I repeat myself yet again -- his pursuit of Moby Dick (health care) and the Jolly Green Apparition (global warming) and, soon, amnesty and national identity cards for all, are deliberate attempts to re-engineer America into a Regressive garbage dump, an outright plan to ruin this economy, and this country, forever.

Think of his presidency as one big shower summit, with 300 million livid and naked Rahmbos jabbing their fingers into our chests. It’s classic Marxism: From each according to his ability to each according to his need. It’s classic Alinsky: Demonize your opponent until he is under water and you’re crushing his skull with your foot. It’s classic Obama: Lies lies lies and thugism and epic fail.

Water, Water Everywhere But You Can't Have A Drink

England's public health care at it's finest.

A man dies - DIES - from thirst.

In an English NHS Hospital.

Surrounded, surrounded mind you, by public service doctors and nurses.

A man of 22 died in agony of dehydration after three days in a leading teaching hospital.

Kane Gorny was so desperate for a drink that he rang police to beg for their help.

They arrived on the ward only to be told by doctors that everything was under control.

The next day his mother Rita Cronin found him delirious and he died within hours.

She said nurses had failed to give him vital drugs which controlled fluid levels in his body. 'He was totally dependent on the nurses to help him and they totally betrayed him.'

He was denied critical care in a teaching hospital -- of course they must be teaching public health care -- AKA ObamaCare. Private health care is taught in other countries like the US. At least for a little while longer.

There is another description of the care this young man received:

"A person acts with criminal negligence with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation."

Unfortunately for young Mr. Gorny, reasonable people were not involved with his care; incompetent, useless assholes were. Public health care at its finest.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command are investigating the death of Kane Gorny at St George's Hospital after this was referred to us by Westminster Coroner's Court."

A spokesman for St George's Hospital said: "We are extremely sorry about the death of Kane Gorny and understand the distress that this has caused to his family.

"A full investigation was carried out and new procedures introduced to ensure that
such a case cannot happen in future.

"We have written to the family to explain the actions that have been taken and to answer their concerns about Mr Gorny's care. The family has also been invited to meet with trust staff to discuss the case in detail."

The tragedy emerged a week after a report into hundreds of deaths at Stafford Hospital revealed the appalling quality of care given by many of the nurses.

Why is gross incompetence called a tragedy? Call it what it is, unconscionable negligence.

New procedures? How about new indictments? What kind of hellish old procedures were in effect when this young man died? What a crock of shit!

And then the grieving family is treated to the usual remedy offered by a government who cares not a farthing about their citizens. Public service unions make it impossible to get rid of dead wood who in turn produce dead patients.

The same sense of entitlement that permeates the welfare system has penetrated the health care system. Nurses are more interested in their perks and petty grievances than in providing decent care. Staff are not paid for being competent, they are paid for showing up. And as the bodies are carted out of the wards, the only ones paying attention to the carnage are the relatives.

This week a task force called on nurses to sign a public pledge that they will treat everyone with compassion and dignity.

A task force. What a useless, typically liberal response to a criminal act. I'd prefer competence over compassion any day of the week. Public service doctors and nurses will stand around with fake pity and compassion in their eyes while you slowly die from neglect.

And keep this in mind, the UK's National Health Service is the largest employer in the UK. It is also one of the largest employers in the world. One out of every twenty-three people who work in the UK do so for the NHS.

A total of 1,282,900 people in England have jobs with the NHS: 2 per cent of the 30 million people of working age.

Only the Chinese Army and the Indian State Railways are believed to employ more people — with 2.3 million and 1.5 million staff respectively — but both workforces represent a far smaller proportion of the national populations.

All that incompetence stuffed in such an itty-bitty island.

John Reid, the Health Secretary, said he was delighted with the growth, but added that he was aware that more action was needed to tackle existing staff shortages.

And they're not done yet.

Kamikaze Democrats

"That saki sucking bitch is gonna kill every damn one of us!" -- Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-CA , as he flies his vintage A6M Zero into a solid wall of taxpayer flak over the nation's capital.

The 500 kilogram economy-busting health care bombs slung under the fuselages of the Democrat's fleet of Zero's may soon be all jettisoned into the Potomac.

The legislation remains stuck in limbo, and there were fresh signs Wednesday of greater skepticism among some rank-and-file Democrats.

California Reps. Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa, both moderates who voted for the House-passed health bill, burst out laughing when asked about the issue's fate.

Democrats are "having great difficulty trying to figure out what the art of the possible is," Costa said, adding, "some of our colleagues want their wish list to be the art of the possible."

Progressive Democrats in the House are fighting to revive a proposal for the government to sell health insurance in competition with private industry. That proposal was left for dead months ago when it became clear it could not pass the Senate. The Progressive Caucus in the House renewed its appeal for the so-called public option, and Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., circulated a letter in support of the idea that has attracted signatures from about 120 House Democrats.

Cardoza and Costa scoffed at that.

"Those people are delusional," Cardoza said.

Meanwhile, back on board the Akagi, Rep. Eric Massa, D-NY, committed seppuku (literally "belly slitting") -- by resigning his Congressional seat after allegations surfaced that he sexually harassed his crew chief a male staffer, or maybe that was a male stripper. Ohhh, those crazy dems.

Some of these Democrat Congressmen crossing The One and Pelosi better stay away from Ft. Marcy Park for the next few months…

Why is Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm, mmm, mmm) doing what He is doing? It doesn’t make sense… Unless… Most of us are familiar with the Cloward & Piven Strategy that uses our own social welfare system to break down our whole system so that it can be remade on the Marxist model. This article from the American Thinker lays it out well…

And here's a very special cameo from Big Fur Hat:

Liars, Thieves, and Clowns #5

You've probably noticed that I haven't been spewing much original content of late. As the saying goes, time is money. I don't have a lot of time to be conjuring up new forms of debauchery and degradation for Zero and Foot in Mouth Biden and The Wicked Witch of Congress, et al, plus they already do a pretty good job of that on their own anyway. Furthermore, I'm sure as hell not making any money off this thing.

So rather than go through with the nuclear option, which you know I contemplate now and then as, I'm certain, many bloggers often do, I'll be mixing it up with a little news and an occasional rant and some off the beaten path posts and satire as the mood strikes me.

This place may become a little eclectic for a while, but then it probably was before, so hopefully you won't mind too much.

With that, here's something you may have read yesterday at The American Thinker. If you missed it, you should read it today. I don't usually copy and paste someone else's work in its entirety, but this piece is that important, and I feel compelled to share:

Obama's Malignant Narcissism

By James Lewis

The hardest thing in psychiatry is to keep an open mind while sitting with a patient, who might be trying to provoke and manipulate the doctor, day after day, month after month. We want to understand troubled people, but people are complex. Psychiatric diagnoses are just reasonable guesses. Most human beings are much too mixed, much too complicated, and much too interesting to reduce to just a checklist.

Obama is the exception. Lots of people talk like narcissists -- when teenagers get grandiose, or when they start to lie to and manipulate their parents, it might be just a phase they're going through. Lots of people preen and strut on life's stage without losing their sense of proportion. But I think Obama just turned all his grandiose talk into irrevocable action. I don't think we've had this extreme and radical a president ever before in American history. Lincoln, Wilson, and FDR took radical actions, but only at a time of huge national crises. We don't have a national crisis today. Obama is our national crisis.

Obama is going for the "nuclear option" to force very bad and very toxic medicine down our throats. He is willing to sacrifice his congressional majorities to get the biggest, most budget-busting entitlement ever imagined into the permanent fabric of American national life. The main beneficiaries of Obamacare will be Obama's ego and the Permanent Left. This is his chance to be FDR, and he can't control his need for that glorified image. He is therefore crossing the Rubicon -- making an irreversible decision that will define his presidency forever, win or lose. This is not just another grandiose gesture. Obama now stands revealed for what he is.

Sure, we've had lots of evidence of his oddities over the last two years -- Obama giving the finger to Hillary during the campaign; Obama thrilling to the sound of his own voice echoing at the Berlin Victory Monument, using Karl Marx's own words in Marx's old haunting grounds; Obama speaking to the whole Muslim world from Al Azhar Mosque in Cairo; Obama rushing to Copenhagen to rescue a scientifically phony climate treaty; Obama suddenly looking enraged last week when Rep. Paul Ryan demonstrated with impeccable logic that ObamaCare just doesn't add up. It's simple arithmetic. That C-SPAN shot of Obama's sudden expression of rage when he couldn't answer
Paul Ryan is now being analyzed frame-by-frame by the intelligence agencies of the world. Their psychological teams are trained to look for momentary facial expressions, to study this man in every conceivable way, to see out how his mind works. If he can change the destiny of nations, you can be sure that lots of nations have whole KGB Directorates trying to read him. It's hardly a perfect science, but they would be fools not to try.

They are not fools.

Here's a partial checklist. You decide.

1. "Common to malignant narcissism is narcissistic rage. Narcissistic rage is a reaction to narcissistic injury (when the narcissist feels degraded by another person, typically in the form of criticism)."

2. "When the narcissist's grandiose sense of self-worth is perceived as being attacked by another person, the narcissist's natural reaction is to rage and pull down the self-worth of others (to make the narcissist feel superior to others). It is an attempt by the narcissist to soothe their internal pain and hostility, while at the same time rebuilding their self worth."

3. "Narcissistic rage also occurs when the narcissist perceives that he/she is being prevented from accomplishing their grandiose fantasies."

4. "Because the narcissist derives pleasure from the fulfillment of their grandiose dreams (akin to an addiction), anyone standing between the narcissist and their (wish) fulfillment ... may be subject to narcissistic rage. Narcissistic rage will frequently include yelling and berating of the person that has slighted the narcissist, but if strong enough could provoke more hostile feelings."

5. "Individuals with malignant narcissism will display a two faced personality. Creation of a 'false self' is linked to the narcissist's fear of being inadequate or inferior to others and this mask becomes ingrained into their personality so as to project a sense of superiority to others at all times."

6. "The narcissist gains a sense of esteem from the feedback of other people as it is common for the malignant narcissist to suffer from extremely low levels of self-esteem."

7. "The ... false self of the malignant narcissist is created because the real self doesn't meet his or her own expectations. Instead, the narcissist tends to mimic emotional displays of other people and creates a grandiose self to harbor their internalized fantasies of greatness."

8. "The [false self] is used by the narcissist to present to the outside world what appears to be a normal, functioning human being and to help maintain his or her own fantasies of an idealized self. The narcissist constantly builds upon this false self, creating a fictional character that is used to show off to the world and to help them feed off the emotions of other people."

There's ongoing debate about "malignant narcissism" as a diagnosis, and some people prefer to use the standard DSM-IV version. It doesn't make much difference in this case.

The biggest question is what happens next. If Obama is stopped, will he react irrationally? Or, for that matter, if he succeeds, will he become even more grandiose? Some possibilities are worrisome.

It's possible that Obama may be a "fanatic type" of narcissist. That could mean a world of trouble for the Democrats, for the nation, and given his position in the world, for other countries as well.

Here is Theodore Millon's definition of the fanatic type:

fanatic type - including paranoid features. A severely narcissistically wounded individual, usually with major paranoid tendencies who holds onto an illusion of omnipotence. These people are fighting the reality of their insignificance and lost value and are trying to re-establish their self-esteem through grandiose fantasies and self-reinforcement. When unable to gain recognition of support from others, they take on the role of a heroic or worshipped person with a grandiose mission.

By choosing the "nuclear option," Obama is demonstrating do-or-die fanaticism. This makes for great TV football, but it's very dangerous for the man in the biggest power seat in the world. We are seeing Obama the Radical taking over from Obama the Pragmatist -- if that one ever really existed. From what we know about his fanatical associates like Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, sacrificing the Democratic Party majority in Congress would be only a small price to pay.

The question is what real damage Obama may do to the country. This man has been entrusted with the greatest power in the world. He will have that power for the next three years at least.

But he may not be able to emotionally tolerate any real limits on his need for self-aggrandizement and power. And still he can't be allowed to beat the country into submission.

Good luck to all of us.

"Everything's been said."

"The debate is over."

"I don't see how another year of negotiations would help. Moreover, the insurance companies aren't starting over."

"The time to act is now."

More than a year after summoning Congress to act, Obama said, while introducing the 7,490,592nd iteration of Obamacare: "This is where we've ended up."

Right at the gates of the eighth circle of Hell.

P.S. Check out how the Zombiecrats plan to roll out this latest monstrosity, at Right Klick's Obamacare Strategery.

*Coffeebagging:

A spin-off of teabagging, the dipping of one's posterior onto the face of a lying-down victim.

Like teabagging, coffeebagging is often employed in first-person shooting games such as Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, where a player will squat over the body of a player who he/she has fragged. Hence the second player was "coffeebagged."

Halo 2: "You were coffeebagged by Chris

Chris: "I like coffeebagging"

And now the Conservative description of members of the bitter Coffee Party.

BTW: Remember when Obama said Zombiecrats shouldn't use reconciliation to pass Obamacare? Yeah. We shouldn't have expected him to honor that promise either.

Physical Exam Shocker: The pResident Is Brainless!

A Photochop by Jamie

DISTRICT OF CRIMINALS -- CT and MRI and PET scan results from pResident Joker’s first periodic physical exam shockingly revealed the emperor has no brains.

According to Cpt. Jeffrey IGiveObamaGreatHealthCare, MC, FS, USN, physician to the pResident, Obama functions via a bizarre new symbiosis, initially being called Governmentitis, with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, all of whom were previously known to be brainless.

Collectively, the four-headed parasitic beast feeds off the American people, sucking the money and life out of everyone. Rumors persist that the vice president’s head is actually a balloon depicting a finger-painting of what used to be Biden’s real face, and that the pResident's teleprompter has been emailing Obama's BlackBerry with phrases like "we're not campaigning anymore" and "those are all talking points, and they're in this bill."

“It’s a medical marvel,” the pResident’s physician said. “It certainly explains why he's never had a real job.”

For her part, Pelosi giggled upon hearing the news.

“We’re very much like those Nazi tea-bagers because we also don’t have a leader,” she said.

Reid just moaned and hissed what appeared to be the word "braiiiinns."

In other news, the White House released yet another version of the pResident’s health deform bill, this time stunningly brief, the entire contents found in one, simple five-word statement:

“Gimme. It is all mine.”

Physical Exam Shocker: The pResident Is Brainless!

Obama Proposes False Teeth Exchange in Healthcare Proposal

Thanks to a somewhat Regressive friend for playing along

and doing this fine Photochoppage for me.

DISTRICT OF CRIMINALS -- Seeking to continue momentum on his stunning victory this week over Republicans at the Blair House Healthcare Summit, pResident Joker proposed a radical new way to pay for his $1 trillion healthcare bill:

"There will be a Republican retirement check in every American's pocket and a relative's false teeth in every American's mouth," the pResident said today, during his weekly radio address.

The pResident said he came up with the stunning new ideas after listening to Republicans blather on Thursday about useless ideas for fixing the broken healthcare system, such as the insanely naive proposal of TORT reform and the ridiculous concept of living in New York but buying cheaper health insurance from Wisconsin.

"The economy just doesn't work that way," the pResident said. "Everyone knows the marketplace is evil and that the only good things come from Washington, D.C., such as hot air and crack cocaine."

The dramatic proposals break down like this:

Since half the country wants Democrats to stop working on the pResident's dream bill for healthcare deform, and Conservative Americans outnumber Regressives by a 2 to 1 ratio, Obama will use the American Community Survey to root out anyone who identifies themselves as Republican or Conservative and deport them to China, where they'll be much more comfortable living in a capitalist environment. In turn, the IRS will seize their assets and redistribute them based on need to anyone who indicates on the survey that they are Regressive.

"I think we'll pick up at least a trillion dollars by the end of this year," the pResident said.

Part two of the plan would take advantage of NY Congresscriminal Louise Slaughter's revelation that Americans are now resorting to wearing their dead relatives' false teeth to save on healthcare costs, by establishing a False Teeth Repository and Redistribution Exchange.

"I think that woman resorting to wearing her dead sister's false teeth embodies that brilliant ingenuity that Americans are known for the world over, and since my plan doesn't pay for dentures, we'll also help take care of the landfill problem by simply recycling everyone's false teeth when they die," the pResident said.

Via photobucket

In related news, The Wicked Witch of Congress continues to assert that she can magically create 400,000 jobs the minute healthcare deform passes, by crisscrossing America on her broom and crop-dusting with a potion made from eye of newt and toe of frog and brain of Republican.

Meanwhile, pResident Joker also announced he planned to help feed those among the nation's 20 percent underemployed by nationalizing the major grocery store chains. "Breadlines are a sign of regress like no other I know of, except for maybe living without electricity and making clothing from bark," the pResident said. "But I inherited a lot of problems, and I admit it's taken me a lot longer than I expected to make things worse than they ought to be; we'll get there eventually."

Obama Proposes False Teeth Exchange in Healthcare Proposal

Comrade Stalin, Pick Up On Line One

We keep getting glimpses of the Obama mindset, the Chicago Thugocracy if you please, represented by off hand remarks made by the President as well as those close to him. The insight generated by these remarks is not comforting at all.

Obama and his supporters have a problem with people who oppose their proposals. The Soviets had the same problem and addressed it in their own way.

Funny thing, the Soviets and the Nazis adopted common measures when dealing with people they didn't like. It did not turn out well for the opposers. Thank goodness that can't happen here in America; organized thugs would never attack peaceful folk opposed to a socialist philosophy.

Ooops. Forget that picture of SEIU members helping someone change their mind.

When it comes to ObamaCare and the pressure being generated to force this socialist power grab down our throats, we can only pray that our voices will be heard by enough Senators to defeat any attempt at reconciliation. From the NY Times:

Tempers were fraying in the White House Cabinet Room as night turned into morning on Jan. 15. President Obama had been cloistered nearly all day with House and Senate Democrats, playing “marriage counselor,” an aide said, as he coaxed, cajoled and prodded them on a health care overhaul.

Obama played Yenta for the ugly, red-headed, drooling Frankenstein health care system. American wants no part of it and returned the cubic zirconia engagement ring. If this creature ever comes to life, it will stumble and rumble through our economy like a runaway tank.“

‘See what you guys can figure out,’ ” one participant remembers him saying, adding that the failed effort left the president mad.

Poor Mr. Obama left the meeting with his panties all in a wad.

Solution? Simple. We need a Panty Czar to pry out and unwad those bikini cuts.

Ever since his days as a young community organizer in Chicago, Mr. Obama has held fast to the belief that by listening carefully and appealing to reason he can bring people together to get results, an approach that in Washington has often come up short.

But there are results - Obama just doesn't like them. The results are simple; if you look at his plan reasonably, Obamacare is a pile of crap.

Solution? Simple. Drop it as if you were caught in a mosque with a pulled pork sandwich during Ramadan. And wipe the BBQ sauce from your face.

He is not showing any signs of changing his style. But he is facing perhaps the toughest test yet of his powers of persuasion: winning the votes he needs, in the face of unified Republican opposition and a deteriorating climate for Democrats, to push his health care measure through a skittish Congress.

The author, Ms. Stolberg, conveniently forgets that the Republicans were virtually powerless since January of last year until this month when Scott Brown stole the Senate seat belonging to Commodore Oldsmobile, ending the Democratic super majority.

Unified Republican opposition? They couldn't stop the Democratic steamroller if they tried. But don't tell Obozo that, he can't hear you through those wadded panties. Especially when his advisers start channeling their inner Stalin.

“If the president weren’t tough, if the president weren’t committed, if the president didn’t believe that this was an imperative for the future of American families, businesses and the sustainability of our budget, this thing would have been dead six months ago,” David Axelrod, Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, said in an interview. “I would love to live in a world where the president could snap his fingers or even twist arms and make change happen, but in this great democracy of ours, that’s not the way it is.”

The Soviets were all about change too. Apparently Axelrod has taken notes. He would love to snap fingers, twist arms, maybe break some legs, imprison a few relatives, or even shoot a protester or two.

I'd love to live in a world where I could bury my boot up his ass whenever I wanted.

Obama's Healthcare Trap

Posted on behalf of Jamie.

Now that The One we’ve been waiting for has put out His own healthcare talking points, you have to wonder why the Republicans are bothering to go to the White House on Thursday… Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm, mmm, mmm) only wants to discuss what’s in His plan. So much for the free exchange of ideas… It’s just more of Him focusing like a laser on jobs, jobs, jobs (which isn’t His responsibility either).

Obama's Healthcare Trap

UPDATED ... They're Going to Starve the Beast

That's right. And regressives think Obamacare is about them.

Hardly.

It's about throttling the health insurance industry to the point where no one can get coverage for treatment of even a hangnail, causing enough of us middle class morons to scream to the top of Capitol Hill for a government net to save us, in the form of a public option, so they can shove us unceremoniously into the stew among the welfare and social security entitlement classes, cooking our asses for good, forever yoking our lives to the Zombiecrat Party, our benevolent demons of lower prices for all.

Allah has more:

They’re going to starve the beast, to borrow a line that’s suddenly back in vogue on the NYT op-ed page, and then replace it. That’s one easy point for the GOP to make at the summit on Thursday; another, anticipated last night by the Times and already in full swing this morning among GOP aides, is that having a price-control mechanism in place even before O-Care’s up and running tells you a lot about what the Dems expect will happen to premiums once this debacle passes. But those are big-picture long-term critiques whereas The One’s thinking short-term, i.e. whom does he need to demagogue to kick up just enough popular support to finally get this thing through Congress and off the table. The boss emeritus saw this coming two weeks ago after the uproar in California over the Anthem rate hikes and now here it is, just in time for the 60-day push. It’d be lovely to think the GOP will challenge him on this come Thursday, but let’s face it: Defending free-market insurance rate-setting while anti-Anthem populist outrage is roiling is a poison pill, particularly given their wariness of carrying the “party of big business” label into November. Expect them to challenge him on cost instead — estimated pricetag: $1 trillion over 10 years — and of course on unintended consequences to Medicare. We are, after all, the party of AARP now.

Welcome to the new slavery.


UPDATE: Below is a list of swingvote Congresscritters (who probably swing AC/DC, too) that Opie from MAinfo dropped in the comments and deserves promotion here.

If you live in any of the states from which these swing Congresscritters come, please call them. Let them know your opposition to health care changes. The phone number for Congress is 202-224-3121.
