President Obama's endorsement Wednesday of a risky legislative maneuver to complete health-care legislation sent Democratic leaders scrambling to settle policy disputes and assemble the votes necessary for passage in the coming weeks. -- Shailagh Murray and Lori MontgomeryAccording to Barry Hussein Soetoro he is no better than Karl Rove and Democrats are no better than Republicans. At the very least this is president Soetoro's "Read my Lips moment."
President Soetoro and Democrats were all in an uproar a few years ago because they thought that Republicans were about to use a Senate procedure that would have allow Republicans to use a simple majority, 51 votes to pass legislation in the Senate.
But now that Democrats are in the majority they are attempting to use the risky legislative maneuver described above called “Reconciliation.” Reconciliation is a method used to by-passing the Senate rule of requiring 60 votes to pass legislation by implementing measures to allow only 51 votes to pass their health care bill. This 51 vote maneuver is wrong. Not because I say so. It is wrong because Democrats including president Barry Hussein Soetoro have all said so.
Oh Democrats aren’t saying that its wrong now, but even the top Democrat, president Soetoro vehemently spoke against Republicans when Democrats thought that Republicans might use a measure called the Nuclear Option five years ago which would have by-passed the 60 vote norm for the chicanery of a 51 vote maneuver. But now with Democrats in the majority Soetoro is encouraging Democrats to use the 51 vote tactic. (see story)
…those big ticket items, fixing our Health Care system. One of the arguments that sometimes I get with my fellow Progressives, and some of these have flashed up in the blog communities on occasion, is this notion that we should function sort of like Karl Rove. Where we identify our core base, we throw them red meat, we get a 50 plus one victory.
See Karl Rove doesn’t need a broad consensus because he doesn’t believe in government. If we what to transform the country though that requires a sizable majority.—Barry Hussein Soetoro

The word hypocrisy just doesn’t do it when describing president Barry Hussein Soetoro and the entire Democrat Party. I know, I know calling someone a hypocrite doesn’t mean much today. Quite frankly the word’s lost all of its meaning.
However whoever originally said a picture is worth a 1,000 words would probably think that a video is priceless. One thing the following video does is it captures the essence of Democrat hypocrisy. (see 4:55min video)
Oh one thing, everything that the Democrats said about Republicans and president Bush is exactly what they are doing now with their so-called “Reconciliation.”
Therefore I think the words projection and hypocrisy have regained their meanings. From the very mouths of Democrats what they are planning to do with “Reconciliation” is wrong but they are going to do it anyways, this after they viciously excoriated Republicans for just thinking about what Democrats are planning to do now.
Now that’s hypocrisy! Project much Mr. Soetoro? Project much Democrats?
Everything Obama learned about diplomacy he learned in kindergarten and it is us, the Americans who are paying for him not learing good lessons in the childhood. Hope his putting America on the path of "set a good example and others will follow" philosphy works!
