Congressman Fleming has proposed a Resolution which states that members of Congress must also participate in whatever health care plan they choose for the rest of us...It might be time for Obama to slow down and rethink his game plan and his outlook. I don't think that will happen, quite honestly. His normal practice has been the arm-twisting Chicago way and it is possible that his being out of the country and preoccupied with foreign affairs has left him unable this week to wrangle these initiatives through. That's our good fortune. I've never seen Obama admit at mistake, either. He blames someone else or feigns ignorance ("I never knew Reverend Wright to be like that! That's not the man I knew!"

Good for Congressman Fleming! One further stipulation. All three branches of government as well as the civil service cadre need to sign on, not as VIPs, but as average citizen patient #XHR25717LGC. Elder statesmen need to enroll in Medicare.

Yes, yes, yes.

In fact, that should be the next Constitutional Amendment - "Congress shall make no law for which they themselves or employees of any branch of the government are exempt" or some such wording.
