WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama threatened to resign today if he can’t have Susan Boyle’s 9 p.m. timeslot on NBC Wednesday to try to drum up support for his sagging plan for health care “reform.”
“Yesterday, I said it wasn’t about me. I friggin’ lied. IT IS!” he said this morning during an impromptu press conference at the White House, visibly angry and, strangely, not reading from a teleprompter. “This health care bill WILL pass. And you WILL give me that 9 p.m. timeslot, NBC. If I don’t get it…I’m gonna…I’m gonna….I’m gonna quit! You’ll be stuck with Slapstick for president. Live with it. You’ll be sorry!”
The president made the announcement to reporters at a time when his poll numbers and support for his policies have never been lower. In fact, his plan for national health care is receiving serious criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, who both know that raising taxes to pay for health care and effectively killing private industry guarantees they’ll be jobless and first in line on Obama’s coming breadlines, beginning with the fall of 2010, cascading into elections in 2012 and beyond.
Tea parties show Unity

The mainstream media ignores or mocks us. The Left blows us off or claims we’re the pawns of a “vast, right-wing conspiracy.” The lackadaisical or uninformed look the other way as they drive by. Often even our closest friends do not show interest in these important rallies. The tea parties have taught me not to worry about those reactions. I realized, though, this last Saturday that the most important lesson I’ve learned from my two tea parties is that I’m not alone.
If the tea parties do nothing else (and they will do much to further the conservative cause, I’m sure), they have solidified my belief in the American spirit. Sixty-two million Americans voted for someone other than the guy in the Oval Office right now. Tons of people who did vote for The Chosen One have serious voters’ remorse. They should.
