Obama Told Dems Soldiers' Hardships a Sacrifice, Losing House Seat Not

Easy for you to say.

Obama told House Dems to vote in favor of the monstrous Health Care legislation, lecturing them that soldiers endure sacrifice for the country. In comparison, casting a vote that might lose a Dem's house seat is insignificant. I quote:

"Participants also said Obama had referred to this week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 people were killed. His remarks put in perspective that the hardships soldiers endure for the country are "what sacrifice really is," as opposed to "casting a vote that might lose an election for you," said Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J."

While this observation is certainly true, it is astoundingly arrogant for Obama to scold lawmakers about not risking their careers when he himself is at no risk of losing his job. It is easy to be self-righteous when it only involves other people's welfare. But this is the trademark of liberals, to instruct other people to do what you would not do yourself, for the "greater good," of course.
