This is easy to see through.
Sebelius is going before them on Oct. 30th. This briefing of Democrats is to prompt them on how to protect her during that performance.
And it will be a performance, not any truth will come out.
If true, and I’d like to hear it straight from Nancy Pelosi that only her crew was invited....then the whole thing is politicized and will never be accepted...even as a failure.
The lost funding? You’d need a special prosecutor at this point to figure out who approved what, and who was attending to the project control status. They need to be brought into a grand jury and explain what they did and why.
Overall, if this explanation briefing goes forward...it’s now a lost cause and if I were a Democratic Representative...I’d refuse to attend and start glaring at the leadership of the party....fools for accepting this massive failure onto the party itself. You can’t blame Bush...you can’t blame the Tea Party....and you can’t blame journalists from Fox News or Rush himself.
Finally, I will offer this observation. If half the nation wakes up in spring of 2014, and the insurance companies send out the next rate increase and it’s fifty to one hundred percent more than current rates....and you watch your personal taxes rise...then it’s the end of the game for the November 2014 election. Management run by chaos and incompetent project management...have only a limited amount of appeal to the public. Then, all is lost.
Boenher needs to grow a pair and crash the meeting
Oglitch’s people peoples, no pwoblem they’ll lissen.
Ah, they are going to be given their new talking points and scape goat.
Mr. Speaker, stop your pouting, and use the powers that you have as the senior leader, responsible for government oversight. Make some small deals with some sympathetic Dems, and get them to support you. Remind them that they'll be in your position one day, with a Republican in the White House, and they won't like being ignored. Subpoena individuals who should be able to provide answers, and negotiate for answers. If you get some smug, mid-level bureaucrat who pleads the Fifth, slap them with contempt. Make their life hell.
Republicans should demand to be included
More secret meetings.
