Conyers: Obama Is Sucking Up To The Wrong People
By Nicole Belle Monday Nov 02, 2009 8:00am



Just like we here outside the Beltway Bubble, sometimes you've just had enough and there's no more need for diplomacy:

President Barack Obama is “getting bad advice from… clowns” on Afghanistan and “sucking up to the wrong people” on health care, U.S. Rep. John Conyers told a Detroit radio audience this morning, according to show host Rev. Horace Sheffield.

Conyers, a Detroit Democrat, made the comments during a discussion about the effects of the economic recession on the urban poor, Sheffield said. The liberal congressman expressed frustration that health care legislation pending in Washington, D.C., was too solicitous of insurance companies and special interests, Sheffield said.

“He wasn’t angry. He was just deeply concerned that some of the issues being focused on don’t address the human reality,” said Sheffield, who hosts the program “On The Line” on WGPR-FM radio.

4. What does the Senator from MI think about what the President has done with the auto industry? NT

8. He is neither a senator nor the senator. He is just a congressman.

10. Ha ha, that's what I get for being snarky. ;-)

I have the pink eye, I'm blaming it on that.

Now ..... what does Mr. Conyers have to say about what the President has done with the auto industry? :silly:

Illogical.

9. The sheep on this site strike again. It is ok to criticize the

President when he is wrong. It is called holding him accountable.

11. Sometimes just letting out makes sense to me rather than being

diplomatic. But, the public will get it just fine. Thanks John

12. The language is not what I would expect from the Democratic head

of the Congressional Judicial Committee.

[tblue]

17. I think he was being charitable by not blaming Obama outright.

[ProSense]

13. "according to show host Rev. Horace Sheffield." Anyone have a direct quote?

Conyers, an early supporter of Obama’s presidential bid in 2007, could not be reached for comment Saturday afternoon.
