Kentucky: Obama

And his handling of Ben Chandler on his health care vote is a perfect example of why:
He told the students that President Barack Obama urged him to vote in favor of a piece of legislation last week.

“I ended up not being able to vote the way he wanted me to, but he was OK with it because I had supported him on lots of other things,” he said.Can you imagine what LBJ would have done to Chandler? Especially since Chandler cowers at the slightest criticism or pressure?

Instead, President Obama, Mr. Nice Guy, just gives him a hug and says we're still buddies, don't worry about it. Not exactly how you handle the vote on the #1 issue that you campaigned on.

Nice guys finish last, and they don't pass health care reform, either. We'll see...

Ben Chandler is all on his own versus the Teabaggers next year, because we're not apologizing for him anymore.

Not only did Ben Chandler vote for the Stupak amendment to end private insurance coverage of abortion in America last night, he voted against the entire health care reform bill.

This is the last straw, and we're done with him.

He honestly thinks that we'll actually care enough to vote for him. He honestly thinks that voting against health care and against women's rights will win him votes from teabaggers. Such are the delusional thoughts of the spineless. And here are the delusional words of the spineless:
“I voted against the bill because I do not believe it is the best course of action for the people of Central Kentucky, specifically our working families, small businesses, and seniors.

White Male Liberty Patriots are aflutter all over Kentucky:
Bob Resnick didn't believe all the right-wing militia conspiracy theories — the FEMA internment camps or the government coffins stockpiled for the day the feds declare martial law and round up dissenters. But they made him wonder.

Then America's economy tumbled and the nation elected Barack Obama, and the resulting chatter about socialist incursion, rampant gun control and a government takeover of health care made him fear where the nation was heading.

So the 43-year-old disabled Louisvillian searched the Internet for local militia groups that seemed to echo his misgivings.

“The way everything's going nowadays, if the economy tanks and they do declare martial law, and they do like California with all the riots and stuff, I'd like to know I've got a group I can be with so I'm not on my own,” he said.

Jeebus bless Bob Layton for making it over to Mica's place yesterday for the Rand Paul meet and greet. Bob got a Full Friggin Transcript of the Krazee, so here's a run down of the highlights.

Ran Paul spoke first before the Q and A session, and he started off by quoting Rush. No, not Rush Limbaugh. The band. Rush.

Let me repeat, he started his speech by quoting Rush.
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
“The oaks are just too greedy;
And are grabbing up all the light.
