Furthermore, he explicitly calls for Rep. Slaughter to be removed from office.

Matt Mayer from the Buckeye Institute reports:

President Barack Obama, joined by Ohio governor Ted Strickland, came to Ohio today to continue his permanent campaign on health-care legislation. His campaign events during the 2008 presidential race attracted crowds of thousands of Ohioans; this time, President Obama managed a crowd of about 200 people. With his negative approval numbers in Ohio (44 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove), it isn’t much of a surprise that few showed up to hear him once again talk about health care.

If you read the whole article linked above, you’ll find that Ohioans are, like most Americans, more interested in the economy and jobs. A fact reinforced by this snippet from another report.

The president’s Strongsville speech began much the same as it did in Shaker Heights — with raucous cheers and applause.

“I love you,” someone shouted — the same as in July. “I love you back,” Obama said before he was introduced by the sister of a Medina County woman who won the president’s attention in recent weeks.

But this time, hecklers called out, “What’s your plan?” and “We want jobs,” during his speech. That didn’t happen last year.

Also consider that the fact that a certain Ohio Democrat decided not to show up…

Representative John Boccieri, Democrat of Ohio, whose vote on major health care legislation could be crucial to the outcome, will not be attending President Obama’s health care rally on Monday in Strongsville, Ohio, not far from Mr. Boccieri’s own district, a spokeswoman said.

Mr. Boccieri is focusing instead on a major infrastructure announcement this morning at Akron-Canton Airport, where the chief of the Federal Aviation Administration, Randy Babbitt, delivered a $16.6 million check for a runway extension and improvement project.

Of course, there was one group who showed up in big numbers. Protesters.

I haven’t seen politics like this since I was in high school.

“Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn, Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) said. “He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.”

Rep. Massa describes a confrontation with Emanuel in a shower: “I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me.”

I just watched a video of a speech by the new Republican Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie. Wow.

This guy gets it. Christie knows why the voters sent him to the Garden State Capital and he’s doing what they wanted/expected him to do.

The video isn’t embeddable but I can point you to it. Click the image below to watch it. It’ll blow your mind.

From the O’Reilly Factor last night.

You may remember that Senator Jim DeMint took a lot of heat for saying the exact same thing in July of 2009. The comments caused such a stir that the White House tried to spin it into a rallying cry for Obama’s base.

On Friday, on a “Conservatives for Patients Rights” conference call with conservative activists dealing with health care reform, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said, as Ben Smith at Politico reported, “If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.”

You should expect to hear that quote this week from the White House as they use it to rally their troops, a White House official tells ABC News.

Officials will say the people being “broken” are the American people going bankrupt paying for health insurance premiums that increase 10 percent every year, the source says, and that those who want to use this issue to break the president are doing nothing but working for insurance companies and insurance executives.

Well it seems someone else agrees with Jim DeMint. That person would be Democrat Strategist James Carville, AKA the Ragin’ Cajun.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday that if President Obama is unable to push a health-care bill through the Congress it will be his Waterloo.

Carville echoed the term used by Republican Sen. Jim Demint, of South Carolina, who last summer made the comparison between the health-care fight and the decisive 1815 battle in modern-day Belgium that broke the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte.

“If the bill loses, it proves Senator DeMint right. It will, I think, by and large, be a lot of the president’s Waterloo, and I think a lot of Democrats realize that,” Carville said, speaking on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Carville said he was not as confident as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, that there will be enough votes in the House to pass a bill.

An excellent question which IBD answers in their own column. The media can’t ask that question because they’re all too busy praising Obama for his brilliant, incredible performance made of awesomeness.

Many viewers were wowed by the president’s performance at the health care summit, his command of facts and ability to rebut every point the Republicans made. We must have been watching another channel.

‘Obama dominates the room at health care summit” was the headline on a Reuters dispatch that found the president “always in command not only of the room but also the most intricate policy details, as he personally rebutted every point he disagreed with.”

In a Washington Post column titled “Professor Obama schools lawmakers on health care reform,” Dana Milbank marveled at how the president “controlled the microphone and the clock, (using) both skillfully to limit the Republicans’ time, to rebut their arguments and to always have the last word.”

Milbank went on to tell how Sen. John McCain got his “knuckles rapped” by the learned professor, how Sen. Mitch McConnell was made to “look small in his chair” and how various other Republican low-achievers felt the sting of Obama’s “big rhetorical paddle.”

But neither Reuters nor Milbank — nor many others, it seems — noticed Obama’s conspicuous non-rebuttal to Rep. Paul Ryan.

Ryan was the GOP superstar of the Health Summit. You can confirm it for yourself by watching this video:

My guess is that Obama didn’t respond to Paul Ryan because he can’t. To respond to Paul Ryan is to admit that everything he said in the video above is true. ObamaCare is an insane plan which sucks and the majority of the American people don’t want.

Facts like that don’t fit the narrative or help Obama in any way. Why would he respond?

This is a hilarious response to Keith Olbermann’s recent accusations of racism against the Tea Party. The video looks at all of Olbermann’s guests in the last 10 episodes of his show and finds a shocking lack of anything resembling diversity.

Red Eye fans will especially like this. Watch it and you’ll know why. Key word: Lotion.

Is this six minute segment featuring Rep. Paul Ryan who fillets the Democrats’ health bill numbers effortlessly while all Obama & co. can do is sit there and listen.

After bringing down ACORN and championing the charge against the progressive media of personal destruction, this is hardly a surprise. In the following interview with Politico, Andrew Breitbart explains that the threat came after videos of him confronting left wing journalists at CPAC went viral.
