JAM This!

[berni_mccoy]

Obama can't win. The very same people critcizing him for not wanting to "jam" the HCR Bill through would be attacking him if he said "let's jam the HCR Bill through. There are some people here about as trasparant as a vacuum and it's long overdue to call them on their hypocritical bullshit!

1. I wouldn't attack him for it. I would love it actually.

3. 'Can't win for losing'

I think that's how that expression went. I probably bastardized the words as that's what it sounded like to me - lol.

4. That's how I remember it...

My grandpa used to use it all the time when the goalpost moved... we're seeing a lot of that these days.

7. That's how my dad said it. Now I know just what he meant. nt

5. berni, don't even bother with them. I've seen that 'jam' story

posted about 9 times today. Some people here, as you know, relish this stuff. I'm extending my 'ignore' list myself; can't be bothered with so much negativeness.

6. There's some pretty consistent criticism of Obama for his apparent lack of leadership

I'd say that at least some of that is justified by his actions (and/or lack thereof) while in office.

I oppose the Health Insurance Mandate bill in its current form (it's simply ridiculous to refer to the Senate bill as "health care reform") but since Obama ostensibly does want this "reform" bill passed, it's hard to understand why he'd send such conflicting signals about it now. I think it is valid to question his judgement in doing so, and not at all hypocritical.

8. I'm happy to see them having second thoughts about the proposals

they've put forward so far

9. Actually they call it Obamacare. So if anything gets passed ...

The teabaggers will bite the hand that feeds them and start their reich wing party.
