Czar of the Czars?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Obama is really getting “in your face” now. Sending a tax deadbeat out to ram his commiecare down the throats of hardworking Americans. Nice move Baracko!

[Tai_Chung]

How many czars do we have now?

[LearsFool]

Will he be the chairman of the death panel? I seem to recall he’s a big advocate for wee-wee-weeding out the elderly from our erstwhile-fiscally-sound healthcare system.

Dashel and Obama have been meeting in PRIVATE for a long time on health care. Obama also meets with Carter in PRIVATE about over seas policies. This should NOT be "news".

[nmh]

I lost count.

Each one is more horrifying that the last.

[freekitty]

Shows you how sneaky Obama and Co are.

[GeronL]

Daschle has wanted the death panels for years and I think they passed in the Stimulant bill. It would decide what drugs and procedures to approve and not approve based on their costs not on their quality

[FlingWingFlyer]

Of course, Tommy might have gone there to be measured for a stool to stand on when he finally meets with Baracko.

[keepitreal]

So he’s “informally” advising the administration while also representing the insurance industry. No conflict there.

[cornelis]

Daschle? People have gone behind bars for less.

[Mr. K]

Maybe he wants to recruit the “Daschle Democrats” (Weeeeeee represent.. the lollipop guild!)

[A.A. Cunningham]

tax cheat

[TWohlford]

He was the author of the “Stimulus” bill... was crafting it months before the election, even before the banks fell apart.

[TWohlford]

“United Health Group”

I’m not in the least bit interested in the options now before Congress... but if there ever was a company that caused me to have second thoughts, it is these guys.

Worst. Company. Ever.

Apollo Alliance sent the framework for the stimulus bill to the Obammy enablers. Daschle isn’t on the Apollo board last I heard. Now, the heathrape bill, well, he might have been helping to prepare that obscenity.

[rockinqsranch]

It would be interesting to know how often Daschle is either visiting Obama at the WH, or on the phone advising him on the healthcare legislation of which Daschle is the Architect that Obama is doing his utmost to shove down our throats.

Big FYI - Linda Daschle, Tom Daschle’s wife was a big time lobbyist who’s clients included big health care companies.

Seems the net has been somewhat scrubbed clean as to Linda.

See post 19 re Linda Daschle.

I remember Obama promising his minions that he wouldn't make lobbyists part of his administration. The hypocrisy is beyond anything I've seen in my lifetime.
