Was McAllister "Set Up" For Praising Obama Admin & Urging That Obamacare Sign-Up Center Stay Open?

[kpete]

The curious thing about this is that McAllister, who voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, recently “praised the Obama administration for keeping open a call center dedicated to enrolling people into the law after the initial enrollment period,” according to Think Progress. So, was he set up by his fellow republicans?

Republicans Urged Obama To Keep Obamacare Sign-Up Center Open

A Republican Congressman who has sought to repeal the Affordable Care Act praised the Obama administration for keeping open a call center dedicated to enrolling people into the law after the initial enrollment period.

In a statement posted on his campaign website last week, Rep. Vance McAllister (R) revealed that he, along with Louisiana Senators Mary Landrieu (D) and David Vitter (R), lobbied General Dynamics, the company who operates the call center, to preserve the more than 600 jobs in the state.

“This is excellent news for the City of Bogalusa and the hundreds of high quality workers employed by General Dynamics whose jobs are now saved,” McAllister said. “I’m pleased to see that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services saw how important this is to my district and the state of Louisiana. As long as I am in office I will continue to fight for the health of our economy and the preservation of jobs.”

Over the weekend, Republicans came under criticism from conservatives for agreeing to a change that would expand choices for small businesses under the Affordable Care Act.

3. Exactly. Both were secretly given cochlear implants.

His whispered "Sleep with a staffer." Hers whispered "Sleep with the Congressman." After that it's just a matter of time. The power of suggestion is too much to bear.

Sounds plausible to me.
