Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff, told CNBC on Thursday he gave President Barack Obama a "contrary opinion" on the early stages of the Affordable Care Act, which debuted with a glitch-ridden website and troubled exchanges.

LOL! Best Joke of the Day! HaHaHa! Oh, Really! Are you kidding me?

FYI! Most of the comments are good.

Summary: Rats are looking for the emergency exit.

[Vendome]

Sure....

[miss marmelstein]

Throwing his brother under the bus?

LIAR, LIAR, LEOTARDS ON FIRE!!!

I agree and wrote earlier that Dems will step to the mike and “defy” Obama. Obama would overturn it himself if he was running....and figure out how to get your money another way....like raising double the Medicare fee taken out of your paycheck.

There is talk of him one day running for POTUS..the POS he is may win

[Flavious_Maximus]

Why would anyone call him the Godfather?

I could see calling him something more appropriate like bathhouse Raum, ballerina boy or dead fish. The word god should not be anywhere near that fag.

[kidd]

Wow.

The comments are good. Could just as well be Free Republic.

Pressed on whether he thought the White House should have listened to his more incremental approach for health-care reform, Emanuel praised the president for seeking out opposing views as they hammered out what would later become known as Obamacare.

As a freeper wisely posted.....they turned up the heat too fast and the frogs are jumping out of the pot. I bet Valerie said to go full bore and shove this down our throats rather than Rahm's plan for us to not figure out what happened until it was too late.

Carol Marin though would be his personal mouthpiece..er spokesperson

[BitWielder1]

I'm sure those "contrary views" was that it did not go far enough.

[lowbridge]

Bump

[surrey]

That’s funny!

[Billthedrill]

Yeah. Six Dems looking at the mess five are closing their eyes and pretending it’s gold. The sixth says, “Uh, that’s dog poop.” Of course, it was his dog.

[gaijin]

He lost his finger during a summer job at Arby’s in a meat slicer.

He said he lost it in an IDF tank battle in the Negev.

That SOUNDS made up, right..?

[struggle]

That’s why your brother wrote most of it, right?

[Jim Noble]

But what did he say to Zeke?

[Chgogal]

Drudge changed the title to Godfather. If anyone does a search on Drudge's title it will hopefully pop up. ; )

[pieceofthepuzzle]

He was just as obnoxious as ever.
