Another Politico shocker. Rush elaborates...Politico: Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said.
The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the Obama administration and other top lawmakers — are extraordinarily sensitive, with both sides acutely aware of the potential for political fallout from giving carve-outs from the hugely controversial law to 535 lawmakers and thousands of their aides.
ADDENDUM: Levin launched into one hell of a tirade tonight over reports that Congress is attempting to exempt themselves from Obamacare...
"The very people who created this monstrocity now are trying to escape it... This is what revolutions are made out of! This kind of two Americas, the rulers and the ruled, is simply unacceptable. And yet, more and more, it's becoming engrained in this society."
"If our health care system goes down, we take these bastards with us!"
