He also suggests, as I noted in a previous post, that all the money Tommy D has gotten from Big Pharma and insurance companies is a sure sign Obama isn’t serious about in-depth healthcare changes.
And, for you Obamiacs, trying to defend his “pragmatism,” Glenn shows that Tommy D beat you to the punch last summer, on Obama’s telco immunity flip-flop:
“Those who accomplish the most are those who don't make the perfect the enemy of the good. Barack is a pragmatist.”
Meanwhile, Daschle’s firm, with AT&T as a client, was lobbying for telco immunity at that time. And, as for Bob Dole’s support for Tommy D? In addition to being alums of the Old Boys Club called the U.S. Senate, Dole is also a rainmaker at Alston & Byrd right next to Tommy D.
Well, the Obama Administration is officially in the tank.
Change We Can Believe In™, eh?
If you really want to see how bad Daschle is, including being called a “whore,” read this Matt Taibbi article.
This Peter Baker article points out Obama is going to have a "czar" just about everything, paralleling most Cabinet offices, in what is surely a violation of the spirit of constitutional checks, and yet more worsening of "presidentialism."
Tommy D will be the healthcare czar if his HHS nomination tanks.
You Obamiacs make me want to puke at times.
