Healthcare is supposed to be Obama's Waterloo according to Jim DeMint. The reference is to the final climactic defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at the hands of a plucky little Anglo-Dutch army blocking his advance to Brussels commanded by General Sir Arthur Wellesley the (Iron) Duke of Wellington. That defeat lead to the reestablishment of the ancient regime in France and much of the rest of Europe. The dominance of Britain the rise of Prussia and the decline of France.
Well suppose Obama is the 'Fabius Cunctator' Wellington? Or perhaps for all the Prussianophiles he's 'on it like' Blücher? and he's not 'Fat Baldy' Napoleon.
So in this fight who'd you style him as? and why?
I'd say he's Blucher and maybe he can catch the GOP in an Anvil between himself and congress.
After all Napoleon was desperately thrashing around at Waterloo hoping to split the Allies and make them retreat along their respective axis of diverging supply lines. He thought the Prussians were running away back to Cologne after a defeat ... but they were only a few miles away and closing in on him.
there's a poll and feel free to comment. Might as well turn it on DeMint... Maybe the GOP are on their last legs and are playing the Napoleon role here.
