Not to defend Obama, but some things NEED to be thrown under the bus.
it seems like just yesterday that Obama and the DNC were completely indifferent to Specter giving the democrats 60 votes in the senate.Amen.
LOL Specter has switched parties twice. He who lives by political expediency dies by political expediency. Unfortunately for Arlen Specter his one core value - Arlen Specter - is not one of President Obama's core values.it seems like just yesterday that Obama and the DNC were completely indifferent to Specter giving the democrats 60 votes in the senate.
Petranus asks, "Isn't it fun watching Obama....."?
As for me its a no, I have far more fun watching the republirats antics.
At the damn end of the day, its gonna be the voters in Pennsylvania that decide the fate of Specter, and Obama will make little or no difference. This is a Pennsylvania democratic primary after all, Obama should not endorse either democratic candidate, but come fall should endorse whomever wins the democratic primary in the general election that really matters.
As for some one like Petranus, they are still stuck in an earlier time, when GWB thought he was the lone decider.
The other thing to say is based on MHO, no one past the age of 80 has any business running for national office reelection.
Its Patranus
and another YouTube video of Obama says otherwise

.....throw Arlen Specter under the bus?
Really says something about his character.
does it surprise you?
the most consistent thing in Obama's political career seems to be a willingness to abandon anything and everything the moment it becomes inconvenient.

LMFAO! What does getting banned 10+ times and signing up for new accounts after each time say about ones character?
I think it's fun to hear Republicans make the 'thrown under the bus' comment. Before Obama made the candid comments about his grandmother in the lead up to the 08 election, the phrase itself almost never heard. Sense his win it seems like talk radio in particular are tripping over themselves to use it.
Kinda underlines the lameness and unoriginality of the right wing noise machine, as it's usually applied to non-issues and comes across as nothing more than glib fail.
I wonder what phrase they'd use had Obama done something like what Bush Sr. and Co. did to the Iraqi Shia after the first war with Iraq, a real case of being thrown under the bus.
