From his column today: โ€œThe CMS post has been unfilled since 2006 and Obama finally decided enough, already. The White House said Republicans โ€™were going to stall the nomination as long as they could, solely to score political points.โ€™ This is one job that truly canโ€™t wait: The longer we delay efforts to cut costs, the worse the health-care mess will be.โ€ Never mind that Obama waited more than a year to make the nomination, that no hearings had been scheduled, that the Republicans thus had nothing to stall, and that even ABC has debunked this claim.
