Amazing: Landrieu Completely Throws Obama Under the Bus in First TV Ad

I’m
confused. Last week Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) said if she could votefor Obamacare
again, she would. Now for some reason she’s completely distancing
herself from it?
But
there’s just one problem here: in 2009 Landrieu herself said if Americans liked
their health care plans, they could keep them. Oops:
The
ad spot above is deceptive and misleading. It puts all the blame on the
president, when in truth she built support for -- and ultimately helped pass --
Obamacare. At the same time the ad paints her as a hapless bystander who (ahem)
had no
idea millions
of Americans would lose their health care coverage. And now, of course, the good
public servant that she is, she's working hard to “fix” a “glitch” she never saw
coming.
In
September 2010, all Senate Democrats, including
Landrieu,
voted to reject a plan Republicans said would have killed Obama administration
regulations that now have resulted in the cancellation of insurance
policies.
Her
ad implies she didn’t know this would happen -- which is exceedingly difficult
to believe given what you just read. Republicans were ringing the warning bells
foryears.
Democrats ignored them. Now she’s in deep political trouble, so what does she
do? She runs ads foisting all the blame on the president of the United
States.
I
wonder how he feels about this.
