Boehner and Reid

From The Blaze.com (Oct. 2):

A series of leaked emails authored by House Speaker John Boehner’s chief of staff Mike Sommers show that the Speaker may have coordinated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to exempt Congress from Obamacare.

The emails were leaked Tuesday by Reid chief of staff David Krone, who actually has a history of this sort of thing. [read more]

This is despicable. Then again it is not surprising. The Ruling Class always looks out for themselves. It’s almost like a reflex. If Obamacare is not good then exempt everyone from it or at least make it optional without penalty. Can’t the republican house find a better leader? Someone who is looking out for the American public?

In other news, the senate leader Harry Reid was asked this question by a reporter:

"If you can help one child who has cancer, why wouldn't you do it?"

His answer?

"Why would we [the Senate] want to do that? I have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting home. They have a few problems of their own."

Wow! So, kids with cancer are non-essential people now? And since when is cancer a “problem?” I thought it was a deadly disease. Maybe, the reporter should have phrased the question like this:

If you can help one potential Democrat voter who has cancer, why wouldn’t you do it?

or

If you can help one potential Democrat donor who has cancer, why wouldn’t you do it?

Another example of the collective or group is more important than the individual.
