Rep.Waters kicks the Blue Dogs under the Bus for Health Care Stall

Rep. Maxine Waters


They have a super majority in Congress and a filibuster proof Senate but they couldn’t deliver Health Care Reform for their Democrat President why?
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) blamed now-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's work as head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), during which he worked to recruit many centrist candidates, resulting in landslide Democratic victories, for difficulties facing House leaders trying to pass reform legislation.—Michael O'Brien
Well they can’t blame Bush or Republicans. And if this Congress and President wanted to do something as outlandish as void out the Constitution of the United States of America they could do it and Republicans couldn’t do a dang thing about it because Republicans don’t have the numbers in Congress to stop them. (see video)



According to California Congresswoman Maxine Waters the blame for the Democrats’ failure to deliver Health Care Reform for president Obama lies squarely on the shoulders of Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and the Democrats that he recruited to win 2006 Congressional races which gave Democrats their majorities in both the House and Senate.

The fact is these Blue Dog Democrats are not Liberal enough for Maxine Waters or the rest of the Democrat leadership.

This Obama failure was handed to him not by opposing Republicans but by opposition in his own Party, opposition which believes that Obama and the Liberal left wing of the Democrat Party are careening out of control with spending and taking the country in the wrong direction.

I’ll take a Blue Dog over Confused Yellow Dog Sen. Lindsey Graham any day!
