‘Don’t transition me, bro!’ Obamaspeak: Insurance is being ‘transitioned’

Wait, what?

Wow, indeed. Out: Newspeak. In: Obamaspeak.

Just when you think the Democrats can’t become more of a self-parody, this happens. Rep. Levin, with what we assume was a straight face, said that no one is losing their insurance. Those plans that you like, yet are losing? Guys, you are totally just being “transitioned.”

Where? Into Room 101?

Seriously. And more truthful.

Citizens were rightly outraged and quickly gave the Democrats the business. With a nice dose of hilarious snark, natch.

Let them put their transition in you.

Win.

And two exit booms:

What’s a little taunting between campaigns?

http://twitter.com/#!/RyanGOP/status/186572413591486465

Ryan Williams, spokesman for Mitt Romney’s campaign, couldn’t resist tweeting out a photo of an empty room 15 minutes before an appearance by rival candidate Rick Santorum. Not that he’s being mean-spirited or anything. It’s just a little friendly taunting, right?

GOP Rep. Grimm message to Boehner: “It’s about real human life and real human self-esteem.” #Sandy

— Faiz (@fshakir) January 2, 2013

Boehner gets Grimm to vote in favor of #fiscalcliff then immediately brings Sandy aid bill. Given that ain’t right.

— toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) January 2, 2013

This is why typical folks on both edges for the aisle hate Washington. The Hurricane Sandy relief costs that East Coast home Republicans had been looking to get passed tonight has-been yanked. It appears that the legislation ended up being victim of financial cliff bad bloodstream between GOP home Speaker John Boehner along with his erstwhile lieutenant, Eric Cantor.

Boehner aide refers questions regarding Sandy aid bill to Cantor’s workplace.

Information on the reversal via Politico:

Home Republicans abruptly pulled the plug Tuesday evening to their guarantee to use recently an urgent situation supplemental catastrophe aid bill for Northeast states damaged by Hurricane Sandy.

The decision is a stunning reversal since simply hours before New Jersey lawmakers had been get yourself ready for flooring debate Wednesday as outlined under a method marketed by at least Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.).Indeed the Appropriations Committee had gone in terms of to lodge a $27 billion bill Tuesday and an amendment become made available from Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.) pursuing one more $33 billion to suit the Senate passed package of a week ago.

Missing a change of heart, the upshot now is the Senate bill will perish with this Congress on Thursday at noon.

Rep. Peter King informs CNN that Sandy no vote is “indefensible” for Congress. “It is disgraceful. It also makes it noticeably worse being a Republican.”

— Dan Merica (@danmericaCNN) January 2, 2013

King proceeded to express that Speaker Boehner is “entirely” to be blamed for not brining Sandy bill to your floor. Claims Cantor had been pushing for it.

— Dan Merica (@danmericaCNN) January 2, 2013

Democrats tend to be milking it:

Maneuvering to home floor to talk about GOP leadership’s refusal to carry up #Sandy relief vote.

— Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) January 2, 2013

We cannot leave here performing absolutely nothing. That would be a disgrace. #Sandy

— Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) January 2, 2013

Betrayal:

Boehner spox re: #Sandy bill: “The Speaker is focused on getting this bill passed this month.”

— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorpNBC) January 2, 2013

And from a leadership aide re: #Sandy costs: “Speaker Boehner determined not to continue this Congress.”

— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorpNBC) January 2, 2013

Rep Michael Grimm (R-NY) states maybe not voting on #Sandy extra is “a individual betrayal”

— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorpNBC) January 2, 2013

King and Hoyer are livid about Boehner/Cantor taking Sandy bill through the flooring. King: they’d “excuse, however it was incorrect.” Pissed-off.

— Robert Costa (@robertcostaNRO) January 2, 2013

The House adjourned to a chorus of boos…from the home itself:

Boos as home gavels out for the day. Can hear @whiphoyer yelling in history, “Mr. Speaker?”

— Seung Min Kim(@seungminkim) January 2, 2013

Teardrops to fall in 3, 2, 1…

If Sandy aid falls the tubes because Boehner and Cantor are receiving a Mean babes fit, it will be yet another great home GOP moment.
