DeMint's Waterloo?
March 22, 2010
Critics of Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., are having a little Facebook fun with his prediction in July that if Republicans were able to stop President Obama's efforts to pass healthcare reform, it would be his "Waterloo."
A day after Sunday's historic vote in the House in favor of the Senate's healthcare plan, sending it to Obama for his signature, critics mocked DeMint's "Waterloo" comments on his own Facebook page by posting a link to a YouTube video of the Swedish pop band ABBA singing their hit, "Waterloo."
In one of the dozens of comments linking to the video, Facebook user Thomas Maier told DeMint, "This is YOUR Waterloo." Another commenter, Mike Rice, argued that "Washington did listen. You didn't."
