OBAMA! CAN YOU 'SPLAIN THIS? 

It looks like Obama is going to try to Rham through his ObamaCare .. never mind that only 25% of the people in this country want the bill passed. To do this he's going to use the reconciliation process in the Senate. Essentially this means that ObamaCare would be passed with a simple majority vote .. and the filibuster could not be used.

It thought it might be fun to compare two quotes from The Community Organizer. The first was from a Senate debate in 2005. You will remember that Obama was in the Senate ... he was there a whole 143 days before he decided he was ready to be the President of the United States. In 2005 the Republicans were getting a little fed up with the Democrats blocking so many judicial nominees. To get these nominees confirmed the Republicans would have to get by the filibuster. Obama didn't like that idea at all ... not even a little bit; so from the floor of the Senate our future president has this to say:

"... ahhh .. and ... what I worry about would be that th-th-you-eh-essentially have still two chambers, the House and the Senate but you have simply majoritarian ... ahhh ... absolute power on either side and that's not what the founders intended."

OK .. he's right. The founders intended for it to be extremely difficult to get legislation through the Senate. It seems to work .. .most times. But those were Obama's feelings in 2005 when he was on the side .. the Democrat side .. that wanted to use the filibuster to block Bush judicial nominees. Now things are different. It's the Republicans who are doing the blocking and it's Obama who wants the filibuster bypassed so that he can get his ObamaCare through. So ... what is Obmaa saying now? It's really pretty simple:

"I think most Americans think a majority vote makes sense."

Well now, isn't that absolutely typical? Hey ... I'll be fair here and admit that for both Republicans and Democrats alike, the virtue of the filibuster depends entirely on whether or not you approve of the legislation being filibustered. I would just like for someone to play these two sound clips - as I will on the air today - and 'splain himself.

I know ... fat chance.
