You can take the fraud out of Chicago, but you can't take Chicago out of the fraud.

Six months into the Obama administration, it should now be clear to all Americans: Hope and Change came to the White House wrapped in brass knuckles.

Ask the Congressional Budget Office. Last week, President Obama spilled the beans on the "Today Show" that he had met with CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf -- just as the number crunchers were casting ruinous doubt on White House cost-saving claims. Yes, question the timing.

The CBO is supposed to be a neutral scorekeeper -- not a water boy for the White House. But when the meeting failed to stop the CBO from issuing more analysis undercutting the health care savings claims, Obama's budget director Peter Orszag played the heavy.

Orszag warned the CBO in a public letter that it risked feeding the perception that it was "exaggerating costs and underestimating savings." Message: Leave the number fudging to the boss. Capiche?

Obama issued an even more explicit order to unleash the hounds on Blue Dog Democrats during his health care press conference. "Keep up the heat" translated into Organizing for America/Democratic National Committee attack ads on moderate Democrats who have revolted against Obamacare's high costs and expansive government powers over medical decisions.

Looks like there won't be a health care beer summit anytime soon.

I'm sure no one here is surprised by how the Obama administration does business.  He is/was a Chicago politician and Chicago politics and politicians are a bunch of thugs.  Now we have Chicago style politics running our country. no

If you do that in any other industry, you may be holding a class action lawsuit someday.

Just as a Pharmaceutical industry professional who says that about efficacy test.

It's still odd to me how much the media overlooks when it comes to anything OB.

That is interesting. He is exposing his true colors.  Can we impeach the fraud now and get Hillary in?
