Top black Democrat complains, “I’m getting tired of saving Obama’s can”

November 20, 2009, 1:30 pm · 3 comments

When leftist Democrat Congressman John Conyers told reporters, “I’m getting tired of saving Obama’s can,” you may have thought it was just a slip of the tongue.

But no, according to The Hill, Conyers was just getting warmed up:

President Barack Obama is “bowing down” to Republicans and corporate interests on health reform, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) said Thursday.
Conyers, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a longtime advocate of single-payer healthcare, blasted the president for a perceived weakness in leadership on health reform.

“I’m getting tired of saving Obama’s can in the White House,” Conyers said on the liberal Bill Press radio show. “He only won by five votes in the House, and this bill wasn’t even anything to write home about.”

For god’s sake, man, the President is bowing to Republicans. He’s bowing to the Japanese. He’s bowing to the Chinese. He’s bowing to the Saudis.

Far as we can tell, Conyers is pissed off that Obama’s bowing to everyone but him.

  - KimmyQueen: The tackle makes me laugh every single time. These “women” are freaks of nature. They are the ones that are abnormal and normal true women like Ms. Tebow makes them realize their shortcomings even if they don’t want to admit them.
  - KimmyQueen: Exactly…. Exactly. No peep either about the old lady being jumped on by young men either in another commercial. Which was funny. The problem with THIS commercial is that it reminds CERTAIN women that some women are not like them and it hurts. Certain women do not want to be...

  - KimmyQueen: I disagree somewhat. Most of the people that voted for him fell for the hope and change crap. They believed it meant something OTHER than what it really meant and the MSM was a reason a lot of people were ignorant of him and his ways and his pals before they voted for him. People...
  - Gondorino: Hmmm, having to pass a literacy test certainly would put the 26% hard core Republicans at risk to vote. That is the group of followers, and they need a Limpballs, or Beck, or Tancredo or other non-thinker to guide them. But lumping all of the Independents into that group seems to...
