In case you missed it yesterday, Saxby Chambliss took a pre-emptive swipe at Obama warning him not to get too uppity to "show some humility" in his speech.
Well...excerpts from the speech are out and...well...Saxby won't be happy
But know this: I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than improve it. I will not stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are. If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out. And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.
Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing. Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt. More businesses will close. More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it most. And more will die as a result. We know these things to be true.
That is why we cannot fail. Because there are too many Americans counting on us to succeed - the ones who suffer silently, and the ones who shared their stories with us at town hall meetings, in emails, and in letters.
That's gonna drive some people even more stark raving mad than they already are.
Obama knows his place, alright...right in the Oval Office and in the well of that chamber.
