A series of leaked emails from House Speaker John Boehner’s chief of staff, Mike Sommers, show that the Speaker may have coordinated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) to exempt Congress from Obamacare.
The emails were leaked Tuesday by David Krone, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s chief of staff, who actually has a history of this sort of thing.
The leaks, which are a major taboo in Washington, show Rep. Boehner (R-Ohio) worked behind the scenes earlier this year to address confusion over a provision in the Affordable Care Act that would force members of Congress and their aides into the exchanges. In fact, if one were to go by the leaks, which were first given to Politico, it appears that the offices of Boehner and Reid regularly coordinated to exempt Congress from the health care law.
But given that the Speaker is now apparently against congressional Obamacare exemptions, the emails make him look inconsistent and hypocritical – which may have been the point of their leaking.

Can the body call for a new leader election at will?
Remember when we had the big dust-ups here on FR between the folks who didn’t trust Boehner and those who said he was good to go?
Yeah... This is why some of us didn’t trust him.
Y’all need to start listening to us.
How is this surprising?
Boehner looked to tired the other day
Working against one’s employers and then faced withe need to be honest is the only possible cause if that demeanor
We know he is running a defect Uniparty
The only surprising thing is his trust in dems
My solution is to support Sarah Palin's choices via SarahPac.
Remove him. It is wayyyyy past time!
The office / administrative staff who know how things work would become our rulers.
A two year term for representatives? They might become proficient after a year.
Glenn Beck just said on his radio show that he is going to get into some further details about this story when he gets back from commercial break.
I say good for him for “leaking” it.
Ping for later reading.
WE KNEW IT BECAUSE boehner SOLD US OUT DURING THE CUT, CAP AND BALANCE (sequester) CON THAT THEY ALL RAN.
Because HIS job was to get US ALL out of Obamacare, not to find a personal escape hatch for him and his staff. This is pure corruption to have a law passed that applies to everyone, and then work feverishly with Obama and Reid, covered by lies and cover stories, to extract himself from it.
He’d disgraced (has no meaning in DC) and should resign.
I’m not sure. Start of the session maybe, unless they are really tee’d off at him.
Good. I hope this finally makes Johnny Boehner mad and realize there is no negotiating with a terrorist. Make them blink. For once.
Good. All the less likely the RINO’s will want to risk collaborating with the democrats in the future.
If BONER was trying to play both ends against the middle he deserves to be outed.
In any case, if he was negotiating with Harry Reid he shouldn’t be surprised to get a knife in the back.
this is just fodder for the democrat base. GOP and rank and file voters always knew bohner was a back stabber who played kabuki.
agree 1000%....why are people not demonizing the criminal liberal media for not pointing out the hypocrisy of reid and hoyer?? vote for obamacare then vote that you need not participate in it????
“This is about his own healthcare coverage and the coverage of his family.”
That’s one of the most dishonorable things ive heard all day,, but its early.
If Boehner was stupid enough to cut deals with people who had a history of doing this sort of thing, he has no business being Speaker.
