They STILL don’t get it.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told Katie Couric, anchor and managing editor of the “CBS Evening News,” that he has “no doubt” the race for the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s seat was winnable by Democrat Martha Coakley, but the White House was informed of her political peril too late…
COURIC: “Would you say you dropped the ball?”
EMANUEL: “That I, Rahm Emanuel, dropped the ball?”
COURIC: “The White House. The Democrats.”
EMANUEL: “Look, you know, I don't want to re-litigate this, but it is no doubt in my mind we could have won that race.”
Yeah, those super-smart guys—who still think you elected a Republican because you’re so mad at George W. Bush—would have had Sen. Coakley sworn in by now. After all, look at the great job they did in Virginia and New Jersey…
And how do you think our Attorney General feels about yet another smackdown from the Obama administration. Essentially Rahm is saying that Coakley ran a crappy campaign and lost a race she should have won.
Rahm, that’s no way to treat a lady. Just ask your fellow Democrat, Arlen Specter.
When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”… Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate.
