"That is a red flag, no different from a restuarant owner who refuses to eat at his own establishment. Imagine how the tone of the debate would change if Obama, his cabinet/staff and the Dem Congress/Senate are willing to enroll in the system they propose."

I'm gonna say this, and it prolly won't make any difference, but here goes: This is a totally dumb argument that our side should forget.Why? Because, they might acquire sense enough to go along with it, and then they can say we met your demands, let's pass this pig now. Will it ever happen that way, that the Senators and Reps, and bureaucrats, and President recieve identical care to Joe Plumber? I think not, even if they are under the "same" plan. Trust me, it won't BE the same plan for them.....this is a stupid argument.

The Rats might put the provision in then snip it out at the last minute and Obama would sign with a smirk.

I don’t think there is ANY integrity left in the Rat part of Congress anymore.

this is a stupid argument.

Couldn't disagree more. It should be an absolute requirement prior to even considering the bill. To rationalize anything different is stupid

It's not stupid, just a tad short sighted, maybe.

Face it people, there's just no way a one-size-fits-all plan works unless the PTBs are under the same rules as the rest of us.

My own response is to run away (not that I have much choice, sigh), fast and keep my children far away from the US. That is sad.
