Gov. Rick Snyder will call in federal reinforcements to help convince a recalcitrant Republican-majority Legislature to accept money to expand Medicaid.

After a speech Friday closing out the Detroit Regional Chamber's annual Mackinac Policy Conference, Snyder said he has talked with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to determine the best way to get the expansion passed in Michigan, and setting a time for someone with HHS to come to the state to talk with lawmakers.

Republicans, wary of anything associated with President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, have not included the federal dollars for the expansion in the 2013-14 budget. The bill in Lansing would put four-year limits on the benefits.

REST

Exactly how many "skunk work" projects does the Governerd have, Rich?  TEA folk, if being the target of the IRS isn't enough to rally a display of Gadsden's, then this fifth column Progressive Nerd within the state Republican Party bringing in the most corrupt White House our nation has ever seen to browbeat our representative voice in the legislature had best activate your presence in Lansing, post haste!  Stand with them - they stopped the Nerd.

Bobby Schostak, your silence with Snyder's Obamacare entanglement demands is appalling.  You're a complete disgrace as Party Chair.

"This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Watergate hearings.  For those of you too young to remember, back then the administration had an enemies list.  They were spying on reporters, and they used the IRS to harass groups they didn't like.  Thank God those days are gone forever."  (Jay Leno, circa last week)

Jay Leno may yet accomplish with President Obama what Johnny Carson did with President Nixon, in that JWC turned RMN into a national laughingstock, and thus greased the skids for Tricky Dick's premature exit from the White House.  We can only hope that JDL can accomplish the same with BHO before February 2014 rolls around.

Four scandals, count them, four.  Benghazi, the IRS's thuggish behavior, the DOJ wiretapping the AP, and the EPA's selective fee waivers.  Those are just the ones that are currently "front-page news."  There're plenty of others from the earlier years of this Administration (Operation Fast & Furious comes to mind), and there are likely others not yet brought to light.  Solomon had it absolutely right when he said that there is nothing new under the sun.

The more I hear or read about what's going on, the more I find myself in agreement with Speaker Boehner:  I'm not interested in who's losing their job over this; I want to know who's going to jail over this.
