The reprehensible Obama

Stilton at Hope and Change cartoons points out that Obama used the deaths of our soldiers at Fort Hood to push the healthcare bill Barack Hasan Obama
The House passed their healthcare bill by 220-215, which is appalling on dozens of levels. But still more sickening and reprehensible was the final pre-vote speech made to reluctant Democrats by Barack Obama.

In order to encourage the (few) conscientious Democrats to vote against the will of their constituents, the president said “sacrifice is not casting a vote that might lose an election for you; it is the sacrifice that someone makes when they wear the uniform of this country and that unfortunately a number of people made this week.”

Yes, the president used the dead and wounded of the brutal Fort Hood massacre to push his own self-serving political agenda.
Disgrace is an understatement.

I keep wondering if his minions will honor their oath to protect and defend the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. He certainly falls in the category.

I wonder, too.

But I think the reality is that some will and some won't.
