Startling accusations from Capitol Hill today, as Republicans, upset over the Obama-led health care victory, have accused the President of some strong-arm, Chicago-type politics. Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX), who was identified as the Congressman who shouted "baby killer" during the vote, said today in a press conference, "President Obama resorted to intimidation, to sway some of his Democratic colleagues" Neugebauer, along with other Republican leaders, stated that Obama came to Capitol Hill with a beard and mowhawk, screaming that he'd "pity the fool who didn't vote for this bill". This along with Nancy Pelosi swinging around her 20lb gavel, made from the very same ugly tree that she fell out of as a child, hitting every branch on the way down, were seen as "scare tactics" by some Republicans. While there were some Democrats to vote against the measure, when the clinching 216th vote was made, uninsured Americans camped out in front of the Capitol spread the news like wildfire via their iPhones and Blackberrys. Shouting "We did it!" from their Lincoln Navigators as they drove through Washington D.C. Reveling in the fact that they now had one more reason not to have to get a job. As for Obama, he was last seen leaving The Capitol with Vice President Biden after the historical vote. Biden was quoted as saying, "I love it when a plan comes together" as he lit his victory cigar.
