Senate Democrats have been desperately trying to move the national conversation away from Obamacare to just about anything else before the midterm elections paycheck fairness, the minimum wage, even the Koch brothers.
But President Obamas choice of Sylvia Burwell to replace Kathleen Sebelius as secretary of Health and Human Services thrusts Obamacare right back into the national spotlight and with it Obamas false promise that if you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan.
Burwell should not be confirmed until she explains how OMB allowed the president of the United States to lie repeatedly to the American people. If Democrats dont demand answers, they can be sure that Republicans will. Since avoiding the subject is not an option, her hearings will be a fascinating insight into the Democrats 2014 strategy on Obamacare. Vulnerable Senate Democrats have two choices: Come to Obamas defense, or use the Burwell hearings to separate themselves from the president and blame him for misleading them like he misled the rest of America.
Well soon see which one they choose.

If Democrats dont demand answers, they can be sure that Republicans will. It's a 100% certainty that the Washington Post won't.

I hope “stunningly beautiful” was sarcasm. She a horse-faced dog.

Some of the most incisive comments on the WaPo site infer that this is all Bush’s fault. I guess thats because Bush taught 0bama how to lie.
