Politician claims Obamacare saves. Voters laugh out loud

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 21, 2009 05:37 PM

Best video of the day: Rep. Russ Carnahan meets the government health care takeover resistance.

My favorite parts? Well, all of it. But especially when Carnahan tries to tell the audience that Obamacare will create “efficiencies” and a “surplus” and when constituent Kevin Jackson asks:

“If it’s so good, why doesn’t Congress have to be on it?”

    Yet another congresscritter is shown to have a tin ear for the voters wishes. The Republicans chances in 2010 just keep getting better!

    The poor sap actually thought the whole world would give him a free pass because of the D after his name.

    It’s been said (or hinted at) a couple of times in this thread, but it bears repeating: The only reason Rusty Carnahan is in office is because of who his daddy was, and the sympathy vote. And, frankly, I don’t think it’s going to matter how many toes he steps on among his constituents, he’s representing a St. Louis district – where they’ll do anything to make sure the D on the ballot wins.

    Even worse, his sister, who is our current secretary of state (and who successfully got voter ID requirements thrown out in a court case), is running for Kit Bond’s soon to be vacant Senate seat. I fear the Carnahan legacy will put her in that job, and MO will have not one, but two Obama sycophants “representing” us in DC.

    absolutely…its just like detroit…keep voting dem…and ACORN is strong in KC and STL…so there is little doubt who will win the next senate race in MO…

    Is this the same Jerry Nadler who claimed to detect a “whiff of fascism” coming from the GOP in the 2000 presidential recount battle? He’s clearly capable of ignoring a “whiff of fascism” when it comes up for a vote in Congress.

    Ha! That ain’t no “whiff of fascism” coming out of DC these days. It’s a stench. And you know how it is, when you’re neck deep in s***, you no longer realize it stinks.

    They believe that illegal interlopers have the SAME rights as my family, who have lived here since before the American Revolution.

    That’s why they think it is o.k. for a citizen of Kenya to be POTUS, even though the Constitution requires he/she be a natural-born citizen of the U.S.
