Analyst' note: Is it any wonder that the federal government politicians are now considered the lowest of the low? Those that voted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) into office need to reconsider their actions. Is it any wonder that no matter who we seem to vote into office in Washington, that the American people continue to get the same shaft? Read this article and learn why:
"A series of leaked emails authored by House Speaker John Boehner’s chief of staff Mike Sommers shows Boehner may have coordinated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to exempt Congress from Obamacare." [....]
Once again we learn why Self-governance is NOT a spectator sport. Considering the understandable mistrust, the fact that Oath Keepers Going “Operational” by Forming Special “Civilization Preservation” Teams is not so unreasonable. Is it any wonder that America is going paranoid?

[....] The leaks, which are a major taboo in Washington, show Boehner (R-Ohio) worked behind the scenes earlier this year to address confusion over a provision in the Affordable Care Act that would force members of Congress and their aides into the exchanges. In fact, if one were to go by the leaks, which were first published by Politico, it appears that the offices of Boehner and Reid regularly coordinated to exempt Congress from the health care law.
But given that Boehner is now apparently against congressional Obamacare exemptions, the emails make him look inconsistent and hypocritical – which may have been the point of their leaking.
From Politico:
[B]ehind-the-scenes, Boehner and his aides worked for months with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), and others, to save these very same, long-standing [congressional Obamacare] subsidies, according to documents and e-mails provided to POLITICO. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was also aware of these discussions, the documents show.
One email even appears to show that Boehner’s office discussed how it would disguise a planned meeting on the subject with President Barack Obama as a meeting on immigration reform, National Review Online reported.
[....] The latest news on Congressman Boehner calls to mind earlier allegations that he advised the White House in September on how to win Republican votes for U.S. military action in Syria.
