‘You’re going to destroy my presidency.’ “

Do tell!

A telling episode recounted by Senate Finance ranking member Charles Grassley reveals the Obama administration might be more worried than they are letting on that a Republican senator’s comparison of the healthcare overhaul to Waterloo might be dangerously close to the truth.

Grassley said he spoke with a Democratic House member last week who shared Obama’s bleak reaction during a private meeting to reports that some factions of House Democrats were lining up to stall or even take down the overhaul unless leaders made major changes.

"Let’s just lay everything on the table," Grassley said. "A Democrat congressman last week told me after a conversation with the president that the president had trouble in the House of Representatives, and it wasn’t going to pass if there weren’t some changes made … and the president says, ‘You’re going to destroy my presidency.’ "

We had Senator Jim DeMint on this past Saturday on the show to talk about his new book, Saving Freedom – We can stop America’s slide into Socialism .  He is also the person that said that if Obama’s healthcare could be defeated, it would be his Waterloo.

I think he (DeMint) may well ahve been right.  Rush has been excoriated for hoping that Obama would fail.

This would help!
