Ezekiel Emanuel lets the cat out of the bag on Obamacare

From the Daily Caller:

Obamacare architect Zeke Emanuel seems like an honest guy — even when it gets him in trouble. And that honesty was on full display Wednesday, after the healthcare expert denounced the policy implications of yet another Obamacare delay but admitted that “for the political gain, it’s worth it.” ..................

The White House routinely denies that their changes to Obamcare — 30 and counting — are politically motivated, instead arguing that they are merely seeking to implement the law most effectively. But Emanuel — who worked for years as a healthcare expert in the Obama administration — admitted this new delay isn’t about policy, but the ballot box.

Thomas Lifson of American Thinker writes:

Last year I wrote about Ezekiel Emanuel becoming a “favorite” of mine for his obnoxious and unpersuasive attempts to explain and support Obamacare. He is so arrogant that he presumes rationalizations that work for him will equally persuade others, because, after all, he so much more intelligent than everyone else that his logic is impeccable.

Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and former Chief of Staff of Presidents Clinton and Obama, is a classic example of an Ivory Towered intellectual. Since he is never challenged on his theories, he does not know how to defend them when questions by a non-fawning member of the Drive-By-Media.
