Another Democrat flees the scene…
Ohio Dem Rep. John Boccieri skipped out on Barack Obama’s dog and pony health care rodeo today in Ohio.
But, the “Kill the Bill” protesters were out in force… Despite the rain…
Steve Sabolich from the Westlake 912 Project sent this photo from today’s rally.
The New York Times reported:
Representative John Boccieri, Democrat of Ohio, whose vote on major health care legislation could be crucial to the outcome, will not be attending President Obama’s health care rally on Monday in Strongsville, Ohio, not far from Mr. Boccieri’s own district, a spokeswoman said.
Mr. Boccieri is focusing instead on a major infrastructure announcement this morning at Akron-Canton Airport, where the chief of the Federal Aviation Administration, Randy Babbitt, delivered a $16.6 million check for a runway extension and improvement project.
Mr. Boccieri has said the runway project would create up to 60 jobs and lift the local economy.

Last week the liberal Carnahan siblings, Robin and Russ, skipped Obama’s fundraiser in St. Louis. They didn’t want to be seen with the Washington radical in public.
UPDATE: Lisa sent video from the Kill the Bill rally.

He was supposed to have a Natoma Canfield, a 50 year old breast cancer survivor who now has leukemiaintroduse him. She had insurance when she was employed, then her COBRA, and then the Ohio Basic. She can’t appear with him because she’s at the Cleveland Clinic receiving treatment, even though she currently has no insurance.

Can we get an appraisal at the Obama road show? I have an old zinc bust of Vladimir Lenin and I want to know what Obama will give me for it.
pm commented:
Now voting “Yes”…(A. Bullock#5)
Looks like that $16million conveniently kept him away from the toxic BO and his two-step into town — and bought that vote.
I hope he gets scrutinized and hounded by Ohioans for his dirty little dance with the devil.

I never in my life thought we would end up with something like this ruling us in the Land of the Free! I have phoned and written and signed petitions, as I know millions of others have done as well. They are just going ahead doing what they want. They think we may vote some out in November (they doubt they will lose power tho). They think everyone will calm down and it will be biz as usual–WITH this abomination of a healthcare bill as LAW of the land (see Gibbs on Sunday).

Remember ALL the monies spent are YOUR tax dollars. The bastards are selling us out with OUR money. Time to clean house’s. quick

Let’s see, today we have this obamination of sliminess ignoring the American people as usual. I too called and called and called. Some of the staffers were extremely rude and adversarial. Not content to alienate and lie to the American public but now the fraud in the WH is out to ruin a lifetime alliance with Israel. Do we not have enough to impeach the impostor yet? Clearly he continues to prove his anti American ideals….I am so sad…..
