Exempted from Obamacare: Senior Staff Who Wrote The Bill
The New Ledger ^ | 3/22/2010 | Ben Domenech

Posted on 03/22/2010 4:18:39 PM PDT by Bell407Pilot

For as long as the political fight took over the past year, the abbreviated review process on the health care legislation currently pending on President Obama’s desk is unquestionably going to result in some surprises — as happens with any piece of mashed-up legislation — both for the congressmen who voted for it and for the American people.

They are trying to deny that this is true and the media is not running with it.

Seems to me that violates the equal protection clause.

"Obamacare is for you stupid taxpayers – who live only to serve us
and fill our brothels with your daughters and sons.
Obamacare will NEVER be for our wives,
or mistresses, or staffers, or those we select."

Since it is established that they can have a separate plan from the rest of the country... Perhaps a bill saying members of congress are ineligible for ANY health insurance.

TIME MAG today:

The President, however, may be indifferent to the acrid fussing of his Republican foes. He will be able to bask once again in the glow of positive press coverage (accented by a momentous signing ceremony), which will focus on four areas helpful to the Democrats’ prospects in November: the masterful display of White House patience and competence that got the job done; the elements of the legislation that are in fact consistently popular with large numbers of Americans, such as its insurance-company crackdowns; the return of the meme that Republicans are the party of No; and the accompanying rising poll numbers for the Administration and the new law…

Democrats will be joined in the fray by much of the press. For Republicans, this will seem like familiar ground, since generations of conservatives have complained that the so-called mainstream media have been biased against them. Well, get ready, Republicans, for déjà vu all over again. The coverage through November likely will highlight the most extreme attacks on the President and his law and spotlight stories of real Americans whose lives have been improved by access to health care (pushed, no doubt, by Democrats from every competitive congressional district and state). The louder Republicans yell, the more they will be characterized and caricatured as sore losers infuriated by the first major delivery of candidate Obama’s promise of “change.” The focus on the weekend’s alleged racial and gay-bashing verbal attacks by opponents of the Democrats’ plan should be a caution to Republican strategists trying to figure out how to manage the media this year.

Imagine, when the Income Tax was created, if they said those who created it were not bound by it!

This is insane!

We need a revolution in this nation!

When they said “Change”, they didn’t mean for themselves. :)

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Since a bunch of lies passed the bill, why shouldn’t Obama’s media friends use a bunch of lies to try to sell the bill?

This is what I’ve been waiting for. I knew they exempted themselves. This needs to be a top talking point along with how obama had to BRIBE his own party to pass this obamanation.

Is this saying Congress is exempt from additional taxes to pay for Health care. If so then why is it good for us and not good enough for them.
