Thousands upon thousands of Americans voted for Obama because they bought into his image of hope, believed him when he said he would change DC politics.

What they got was a president who took corrupt, dirty DC politics to a whole other level. Instead of bipartisanship and transparency, they got more corruption and Chicago style politics. The newest example? It looks like Obama bribed House Democrat Jim Matheson of Utah by giving Matheson’s brother, Scott, a judgeship:

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

Just coincidence? If it is just a coincidence, then that’s really not all that reassuring either, because that would mean that we have the most clueless, idiotic president in American history currently sitting in the Oval Office. When you find out that Jim Matheson voted against Obamacare not just once but twice, it sure looks like Obama was trying to buy his vote, doesn’t it?

Now, sensible people might learn when legislation is this difficult to pass. They might listen to the angry constituents who don’t want this bill. They might move on when they see that it’s this hard to get this bill passed, even with a super-majority in Congress. Most people would realize that no one wants this bill, and that they need to let it go. But Obama is a Chicago-style president. He’s sworn that he’ll get his done no matter the cost, so he will bribe congressmen, he’ll strong-arm senators, he’ll use any dirty tactic he can to get his way, no matter how corrupt… and no matter how much the American people are against it.
