(Video) And now, a word from the president

…to whoever uttered “f– the president” in that Democratic caucus meeting …

DISCLAIMER: This is certainly not a word from the actual president, and is not an official White House communication. Sadly, that has to be said for some people to realize that this is not actually a word from the president. Thank you. Now click on and go in peace…

So any ideas who the Democratic Joe Wilson might be? And why aren’t liberals more interested in finding out? I mean, if a Republican had said it…

Some possible suspects:

Pete Defazio – leader of the House revolt against the president. Qualifyer is that he’s from Oregon, and you’d think they’d have better manners there… And Defazio said on MSNBC Thursday that his caucus is looking to “improve the bill, not kill the bill,” leading TRR to suspect that Defazio might more likely have said “get some pork from the president…

Anthony Weiner – he used to be roommates with Jon Stewart, who has been known to toss out an F-bomb from time to time, and he’s made by far the most angry appearances on television attacking the president as a weak, ineffectual capitulator. Plus he’s from New York. They tell people to f- off a lot up there (full disclosure, I was born in Brooklyn…) But Weiner is practically a newlywed, so there’s a chance he’s still too blissful to be that much of a jerk.

Any other guesses?

Meanwhile, some defeated Democrats objected to the nonbinding vote rejecting the Obama plan, saying they weren’t invited to weigh in.
