The president has personally assured us that passing his health care bill wasn’t all about him. And I know I’m speaking for all of us that we’re thankful for the clarification.
Others are obviously not on the same page.
Let’s just lay everything on the table. A Democrat congressman last week told me after a conversation with the president that the president had trouble in the House of Representatives, and it wasn’t going to pass if there weren’t some changes made … and the president says, ‘You’re going to destroy my presidency.’
— Charles Grassley, (R-Iowa) Senate Finance ranking member
While Senator Grassley didn’t name the Democrat House member he spoke with last week, just the fact that there are reports of a “Blue Dog” revolt, means there are politicians in Obama’s own party that aren’t willing to fall on their swords for him.
It may or may not be all about him, but it won’t be all about them as a lot of people went down during the Battle of Waterloo.
