It sounds as if as if Rahm is trying to revise history, distancing himself now that he sees how unpopular ObamaCare is with the general public. And this CBS piece asks us to believe his fairy tale.

Emanuel's purported objections back then contrast with his own brother, Zeke ("The Freak") Emanuel, being brought into the White House as the chief architect of the disastrous plan. Does anyone think that Zeke would have done what he did without Rahm's blessing?

And if Rahm had objections to it then, why isn't he coming out for repealing ObamaCare or making significant changes to it now or urging his fellow Democrats to do so?

Well, I don’t find it so outlandish that Rahm Emanuel eventually came to oppoae Obamacare and begged Obama to stop pushing it—after all, Rahm knew how to read polls. It wasn’t that Rahm was (or is) opposed to socialized healthcare, it was that he didn’t want the RATs to lose Congress, which is what ultimately happened.

Now for the good news.

Rahm's bro, Dr Zeke Emanuel, was spit-shining his penny
loafers when the subject of "O/Care death panels" surfaced.

JS93, your comment made SO much sense it had to be re-posted.

Rahm is a professional liar, and there is a whole lot of spin going on at all levels from this White House.

They know they have screwed the pooch, and now they are trying to cover tracks so more mischief can abound.

They are daring us to DO something about it.

We have to remember--THEY are insulated from what is happening now--we are the ones who will suffer.

He’s not the one who wrote this. Obamacare has been the most divisive thing since the Vietnam War and/or the Demwit Party. It cost them the House of Representatives in 2010, and will cost them both houses — and we hope the White House — in 2012.
