By Ditching the Public Option, Obama Gave His Enemies a Path to the Supreme Court

104. Well, thats the cover story,

and you can stick with it.

Truth is, we don't KNOW what would have happened because it was never tried.

I would have much preferred that Obama forced the Senate to actually VOTE on it,
and have Lieberman cast his vote facing THIS gang:

It is one thing for Lieberman to grand stand in the Kabuki Theater of threats.
It IS a very different thing to force him to actually stand up in full public view and DO IT!

We will NEVER really know what would have happened
because the Dem Leadership never really tried.


My personal response to weasels who threaten blackmail or vindictive retribution is
a very clear, "Do your WORST, asshole."
That has always worked well in MY life.
Bending Over & Taking it because some wimp asshole threatens to do something bad
only welcomes more manipulation.

There have been Democratic Presidents in the past who KNEW and Practiced
that approach in successfully dealing with whiny assholes.
FDR,
Harry Truman,
and LBJ come to mind immediately.
Thankfully, I am old enough to remember how Liebermans can be dealt with.




Can you imagine wimpy, little, spoiled brat, Joe Lieberman standing up to LBJ,
stamping his little foot and saying "No" to Medicare?

We would STILL be finding little pieces of Lieberman's ass spread all the way from Texas to Connecticut.




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
