Until we hear otherwise, Rahm Emanuel joins the Coalition of the Corrupt & Spineless.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel met last night at the U.S. Capitol with Senate Democrats and told them Obama is “open to alternatives” to a new government insurance program in order to get legislation overhauling the health-care system to his desk, said Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota.
No, no, no, no! Unless Conrad is lying, this is very disturbing news.
Call the White House and leave a message for the chief of staff. The Republicans are horribly unpopular, and the public option is overwhelmingly supported. So why does Mr. Emanuel want to sell us out for the sake of crappy "bipartisanship?" Bipartisanship doesn't pay medical bills.
THE WHITE HOUSE
