Congressman Dan Lipinski was no friend to President Barack Obama when his fellow Chicago Democrat occupied the White House.

On Thursday, Lipinski got his comeuppance.

A collection of former Obama aides and supporters banded together to deliver some Chicago-style payback, just days before the embattled congressman faces a tough Democratic primary challenge that could end his career.

The idea that Lipinski — who voted against the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature achievement, and declined to endorse Obama’s re-election in 2012 — would try to use the former president’s image resurrected such deep feelings of betrayal that the group of former staffers and supporters quickly assembled for a news conference to call out the congressman for what they called hypocrisy.

“It’s time to reveal the truth, Congressman Lipinski,” said Obama’s 2008 national field organizer Jon Carson. “You are no Barack Obama.”

Over Twitter on Wednesday night, former Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod called the move “galling.”

In fact, Obama loyalists were so steamed that 10 former aides and volunteers stood in Axelrod’s old offices for the Thursday news conference — the very place they said Michelle and Barack Obama made their decision to launch a 2008 presidential bid.

The group recounted the difficulties of corralling enough votes to pass the Affordable Care Act eight years ago — and lamented that Lipinski was the only Illinois Democrat to vote against it. Organizing for Action National Finance Committee member John Atkinson recalled watching the roll call vote in 2010 with “tears streaming down my face,” from the pride he felt in the moment the landmark health care act passed.

Dan Lipinski is a terrible congressman.

He got the seat by pure nepotism. His father won the dem primary and decided to suddenly ‘retire’, and install his son as the new candidate. It was like a gift...that you’d give a son in some developing country.

Disgusting start.

And at that point I vowed to never, ever vote for a guy who has literally perverted our democracy like that.

And through the years he’s been a totally ineffectual congressman with no real accomplishments.

He’s actually a neighbor, and a nice guy, but not the sharpest tool in the shed. Terrible public speaker.

I have voted against him since his first run, and will vote for his Nazi opponent if he manages to squeak thru the primary.
