Blame Rahm...

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus let loose, on Thursday, regarding much tougher restrictions on illegal immigrants having access to the health insurance exchanges in the Senate health care bill, blaming White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel for the tighter-than-expected legislative language.

"A forensic study would show it all leads back to Rahm Emanuel and the White House," said Illinois Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a member of the 20-member Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who worked with Obama's chief of staff when he was in the House.

A White House aide told Politico that Gutierrez's comments are "inaccurate." However, the fact that a Democratic loyalist in the House was ready to go public with these complaints is extraordinary.
