Pelosi defends Obamacare waivers to 1,800 firms: “They’re small companies”

Pelosi defends Obamacare waivers to 1,800 firms: “They’re small companies.” Uuuuh, did she say “companies” or “cronies”? In the age of Obafacism, we need a new word to describe state-favored enterprises: how about “cronpanies”?

  • 1. Democrats Veto ‘Obamacare’ Word in GOP Mailings

    Democrats have been vetoing use of the word “Obamacare” in taxpayer-financed mailings, saying it violates rules against using the franking privilege for “personal, partisan or political reasons.”

    The bipartisan franking commission reviews official mail, email and social media for overtly political content. Gregory Abbott, the Democratic spokesman for the commission, told Roll Call “there has been a long-standing agreement” that the shorthand reference for the healthcare reform law “does not meet this standard.”

    And Republican spokeswoman Salley Wood conceded: “A bipartisan commission means bipartisan consent.”

    But other Republicans are irked by the move. One GOP House aide told Roll Call: “It’s telling that Democrats are fearful of taking ownership of the president’s signature piece of legislation.

    “The White House and Congressional Democrats exhausted all of their political capital and a Congressional majority to move the bill across the finish line and into law. You would think given how much it cost them, that they would embrace the end result and proudly attach the president’s name to it at every opportunity.”

    Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, charged that Republicans were trying to exploit Obama’s unpopularity to make the healthcare law unpopular as well.

    In June, House Democrats objected when Republicans stopped them from saying in official mass mailings that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s GOP budget would “end” Medicare.
