Here is the bilious garbage of right-wing hate radio in all its ignominy; the day Michael Savage actually sounds intelligent is the day that I'll be ready for "the old liberals home" at an undisclosed location in Massachusetts...
...oh, and by the way, wingnuts, this is called leadership (after eight years of having to endure the swaggering idiocy of Commander Codpiece, I personally am not going to budge ONE FREAKING INCH on core issues responsible for President Obama's election like this one)...
(Update - Well, the MSNBC vid above isn't cooperating, so let's try this one from CNN.)
...and by the way, the previous sentence was aimed also at chicken Dems like Kent Conrad (it disgusts me that I have to share a party allegiance with toadies and gutter snipes like this character, but alas I must)...
...and by the way, this has a bad word in it, but I think it completely fits (sadly, though, I believe the answer to the question is "yes")...
...and in memory of Gordon Waller of Peter and Gordon, I present the following (though I'm sure Peter Asher, producing performers such as Linda Ronstadt, ended up doing OK also)....
...and congratulations to Jackson Browne for this; way to "stick to your guns," dude.

It seems to me that the intent to take Obama "down" and make health care reform his "waterloo" must be treason or something close.
Obama was elected by the people of the United States. He was elected to enact the goals he set forth in his campaign.
It is not for congress to oppose and obstruct so they can take power back in the next election.
Sabotaging Obama is a betrayal the citizens. That is something I don't hear being discussed. Its one thing to oppose his plan, but to oppose him in an attempt to unseat him is self serving..not serving the public. Something here is very wrong.
I am looking at this from a constitutional standpoint.
Dereliction of duty perhaps?
I don’t know if some of DeMint’s comments are treasonous, but they’re certainly close (of course, he quickly backpedaled after he made them, saying something like “This isn’t political” – sure, tell me another one).
However, your point about the fact that Obama is trying to execute the will of the majority of the voters of this country based on last November’s election (the results of which weren’t contested and didn’t require any recounts anywhere, let’s not forget) is well taken.
There is room for reasonable disagreement here on health care as well as any other issue. But those comments and/or disagreements should be incorporated into the process of authoring legislation, not, in DeMint’s case, for the purpose of hyping his book (I caught Chris Dodd for a few minutes on C-SPAN last week talking about how the Repugs had offered about 200 amendments to a Senate version of the health care legislation, and 160 of them were added – anybody who has any illusions about how important he is to the Dems and how much we should be supporting him should have heard what he said).
I’ll tell you what – let’s take what DeMint has said, backdate it a few years and apply it to a different context. Suppose John Kerry, for example, had said, that he wants to “take down” Dubya over his tragic mismanagement of the Iraq fiasco and make it his “Waterloo.” The condemnation would have been universal and bipartisan, and one of those people upset by such remarks would have been yours truly. However, as we know, IOKIYAR.
