Obama, you’re a politician, it’s always about politics!

It’s never about politics for President Obama:

President Obama accused Republicans of playing political games with health care reform Monday, taking aim at South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint for suggesting a defeat on health care could be a “Waterloo” moment for Obama.

“If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his waterloo. It will break him,” Obama quoted DeMint as saying. “Think about that. This isn’t about me. This isn’t about politics. This is about a health care system that is breaking American families, breaking America’s businesses and breaking America’s economy. We can’t afford the politics of delay and defeat.”

DeMint made the remarks on a call organized by the group Conservatives for Patients Rights.

In his statement, Obama also said the need for “health care reform is “urgent and it is indisputable,” but he did not repeat his August deadline, instead saying it needed to be done by the end of the year.

This health care bill is only about politics. It’s about advancing a liberal political agenda the Dems have been trying to push through for years. How does the guy in the highest political office try to argue that nothing he does is political? This is Washington, DC. America knows that everything is about politics. You’re politicians. That’s what you do. Our president sounds like an idiot when he tries to claim otherwise.

Look, neither political party may be very popular at the moment, but people understand the game we’re playing. They aren’t stupid enough to believe that Democrats are never being political and the Republicans are only about politics. When did Democrats corner the market on wanting to do what’s best for America? I must have been out that day.

UPDATE: Just picked up this little gem off of the White House blog, it is the paragraph that preceded what is quoted up above:

Now, there are some in this town who are content to perpetuate the status quo, are in fact fighting reform on behalf of powerful special interests.  There are others who recognize the problem, but believe — or perhaps, hope — that we can put off the hard work of insurance reform for another day, another year, another decade.

What about those people who believe there is a problem, but don’t think that more government is the way to fix it? What about those people who think government tinkering is what cause the problem in the first place? What about those people who have read the Constitution and knows that our government does not have the authority to impose this monstrous health care “reform” on us?

I am one of those people. I don’t consider myself to be a powerful special interest. Is it possible that some politicians oppose your method of health care reform because they are representing other people like me? I know you all think this Tea Party thing is a joke. Well, all of us involved in the Tea Parties think you are the joke, but we’re not laughing.

  4. The quote from the White House that starts “Now, there are some in this town..” is typical of this administration. They throw up straw men with nary an attribution as to who these “some” are and then proceed to demolish them. They then claim that they’ve presented the other side, when its painfully obvious that they have done no such thing. If there was an independent press, this wouldn’t have ever been successful.

    So, I guess its “same song, second verse…”

  5. Barry Soetoro is a ham-fisted thug who will get neither his cap and tax or his health care bill. The Washington elites are all about controlling a President without appearing to be doing so. It is their version of the con as Soetoro has his own. The American people con themselves into thinking they are “free” when in fact a national income tax, a privately owned Central bank, and compulsory federally subsidized system of public education all run counter to this mythical “belief”.

    Face facts America. Since our founding we have been the target of foreign enemies who want us to fall. Never in our history have we been more vulnerable to that end than we are now because we are a beggar/borrower nation.

    Dig deep. Build your own business. Save your money. Invest in real assets. Tear up your credit cards and learn to pay cash for everything your little heart desires (and watch how less you will desire.) We are still a wealthy affluent nation. But our political fabric must be restored.

    And for the love of all things good: can we just get on with deporting Mexican nationals living here illegally and deport every Follower of Islam who attends Mosques that teach “death to America”?

    We are a sovereign nation. Let’s behave like one.
