Landrieu Says Obamacare on "Life Support"

By Philip Klein on 1.28.10 @ 12:10PM

President Obama's State of the Union address failed to deliver the kind of guidance that many Democrats were hoping for on how to proceed on health care, the Politico reports:

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said health care reform “is on life support, unfortunately,” and the president should have been more specific with how Democrats should move forward.

“He should have been more clear, and I am hoping that in the next week or two he will because that is what it is going to take if it is at all possible to get it done," Landrieu told reporters. "Mailing in general suggestions, sending them over the transom, is not necessarily going to work.”

Meanwhile, Arkansas Sen. Mark Pyror said that it was “a real possibility that health care is at a stalemate and you can’t solve it this year.” He added that, "It is hard to see how last night fundamentally changes it.”

The President trash talked everyone including the Congress, Senate specifically, Supreme Court, and his own party. So it isn't surprising that some are responding today.

Obama's message is that the failure of his administration to accomplish anything was everyone else's fault, not his.

I think Americans are starting to realize how poorly Obama is running the country. Do not be fooled by lofty rhetoric. He is a dangerous ideologue with fare left sympathies and is culturally and perhaps factually not an American.

Obama himself is on life support! He is self-destroying. Let us help him along. He is constitutionally ineligible to be POTUS. Everything he has done and said show he does not have allegiance to United States - prove how insightful our founding fathers were in insisting that only a natural born citizen can be the president!
OBOGO (Operation BO has to Go) is on!

OBOGO Petition - The Petition to your Senator that gets to the ROOT OF THE OBAMA "plant"

This is what every single American can do that will put the House and the Senate on Notice for a "specific" remedy, without further delay. A Senate Trial takes 30 days..the courts can take years. So.. this is given to empower the People with a specific set and very specialized focus relating facts that are not " alleged" but already proven.
Anyone can copy paste and print this out..and Take A Stand for the Constitution with some authority as an American!
