I find this amazing...
 
and troubling as well...

"The Democratic spin explaining why polls show the public opposed to their health care bill is that voters actually like the individual pieces of the bill but have been turned off by the messy process.

Yesterday, Joel Benenson, a pollster for the Democratic National Committee, reported the results of his own survey done for the Service Employees International Union. It claims the difficulty liberals are having in selling health-care reform "centers squarely on perceptions of a breakdown in the legislative process, exemplified by deal-cutting and special deals for the constituents of key swing Senators."

But it appears that Democrats are ignoring their own findings. Last week, President Obama backed away from his earlier demand that lawmakers' special deals be stripped out of the bill. Then there's Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who yesterday endorsed a parliamentary maneuver under which the House would "deem" the Senate's health care bill approved without the House voting on it.

Ms. Pelosi actually told reporters: "Nobody wants to vote for the Senate bill."
Her scheme to allow House members to escape political responsibility even drew the ire of the Washington Post editorial page, which has strongly backed health care reform: "What is intended as a final sprint threatens to turn into something unseemly and, more important, contrary to Democrats' promises of transparency and time for deliberation."

Folks who would even consider things like this need to be GONE and that includes the President who also is saying.....

"The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections to any district whose representative has not backed the bill.

A one-night presidential appearance can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds which would otherwise take months to accumulate through cold-calling by campaign volunteers.

Hearing also that while he considered the criticism of the "pork" or whatever you want to call the sweetheart deals for certain states valid, it will stay in to get votes.

WOW is all I can say !

After seeing how effective Obama's campaigning was for Martha Coakley (D) in Mass., New Jersey Dem. Jon Corzine and Virginia Democrat Creigh Deeds, I say it's a dirty shame Obama would refuse to campaign for anyone in office.
