Health Reform Author Cornered, Can’t Answer Question On Funding

Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) faced constituents at a town hall doubleheader. With a clear majority of those in attendance voicing opposition to Obamacare, DIngell appeared clueless when confronted by constituents with questions about the bill. One father concerned about coverage for his son who suffers with Cerebral Palsy, was told by Dingel that he’d put in an amendment to cover his son. The dad raised the BS flag.

At the meetings conclusion, with shouts of “kill the bill” echoing through the venue, Dingell may have thought the worst was over. But, not so fast. One angry constituent demanded to know where the funding was coming from. Face to face with Dingell she demanded he answer one question, “Is the money coming out of my paycheck?” Dingell was speechless.

Note the arrogance of Dingell’s inference that he know what is best for “his people”. Add to that his proclamation that he’s been in congress for 50 years, and you have every reason necessary to vote him out of office in 2010.
