Whoo Hoooo Hoooo!!!

There is a little bit of tension detected in the last line of the quote below.

For the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), to make such a statement reveals a barrier of offense being built up in the leadership of the Democratic party toward president Obama.

Rangel said Obama had called the chairman’s meeting “to show that he’s in charge.”

It is becoming more and more obvious that this politics via thuggery and cajoling is only going to take our president so far... in his own camp... I mean... Obama is expecting congress to trumpet every word from his mouth, and rubber stamp every political desire of his heart.

Well... it's played pretty well for Obama for six months... but now these liberal democrats are realizing that their own futures are being asked to "fall on the sword" of Obama's desires... and some are obviously starting to question whether their political futures are worth sacrificing for Obama to build his legacy and his vision of America... which is obviously different than the majority of Americans.

And he is going to have three and a half more years to languish in this stew that he is brewing.

It isn't going to be pretty... within his own party.

Obama to lobby Energy and Commerce Dems
By Molly K. Hooper

Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce panel are headed to the White House, not their committee room, on Tuesday.

Instead of continuing their markup, Energy and Commerce Democrats will be lobbied by President Obama at the White House. Tuesday’s continuing markup was canceled, but the panel is scheduled to meet again on Wednesday.

The delays and intense effort by the White House cast more doubt on whether the House will meet its deadline of voting on the landmark bill before the August recess.

Conservative Democrats on the panel have criticized the healthcare reform bill’s costs, and complained it does not do enough to reduce long-term healthcare spending. Freshman Democrats have also been worried about growing fiscal deficits and the risk the healthcare bill could add to them, while members from wealthy districts are upset about a surcharge on the wealthy that would be used to pay for some of the bill’s costs.....
