New Lows In Ridiculousness

GOP Sen. Jim DeMint: Affordable health care for Americans is putting our troops at risk!

On ABC’s Top Line today, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) attacked Obama. “A lot of us are concerned that the President is putting off listening to the recommendations from his generals because he’s getting so much pressure from the left,” DeMint complained. When host David Chalian noted that Obama simply “wants to make sure that the resources are there to fit the strategy,” DeMint accused Obama of abandoning Afghanistan to focus on health care, which DeMint suggested is not a priority for the country:

DEMINT: The problem is, the war in Afghanistan and our economy are our two biggest issues. But he’s working on other issues such as health care and he’s putting off the decision on Afghanistan which I think puts our troops at risk. So he needs to focus on priorities right now and not try to ram so many things down our throat here in Congress. He needs to address the issue of Afghanistan quickly.

That's nice. Once again, we're back to Obama's not smart enough to handle more than one thing at a time, because Americans never have to worry about more than one problem at a time, ever. Republicans are so terrified of a real health care reform bill leaving them in the wilderness for a generation that they are trying completely absurd stuff now in order to "kill" reform legislation. They still do not have a health care plan of their own. They still don't have any solutions to our problems. All they have is the word "No."
