Pat Oliphant on health care legislation as Obama's Waterloo, March 23, 2010 - Washington Post
How’s that “make health care Obama’s Waterloo” working out for you, Sen. Demint?
Didn’t expect Obama to be Wellington at Waterloo, eh?

Jim Demint, how’s that “break this president” thing working for you?
When one agrees to do battle at Waterloo, perhaps one should pay more careful attention to whether one is on the side of Napoleon, or on the side of Wellington.

Republicans and Sen. Jim Demint look forward to meeting Obama at Waterloo.

Napoleon looked forward to meeting Wellington at Waterloo, too.
It’s important to remember that at history’s great turning points, there are generally at least two sides. The British don’t celebrate the Fourth of July, either.
Be careful what you hope for, Republicans.
