THE TAIL THAT WAGGED THE DOG?

Congressional Democrats, in fear for their jobs, are now scrambling to find some way to get out from underneath the political pile of rubble being built by ObamaCare.  Evidently, after several gin and tonics, advocates have been quietly pushing the idea of a CEO who would set marketplace rules, coordinate with insurers and state regulators on the health plans offered for sale, supervise enrollment campaigns and oversee technology, according to several sources familiar with discussions between advocates and the Obama administration.  NEWSMAX reports the advocates include former White House adviser Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of President Barack Obama's former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel; and the Center for American Progress, the Washington think tank founded by John Podesta.  Obama is reportedly cool to the idea. 

Now, I don't understand... The Congressional Democrats all know who they are; THEY are the ones who rammed ObamaCare through the legislative process.  You would think they would at least stand up and defend their positions.  On the other hand, snakes are not very good at standing up.
