Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi on the "Gang of Six" negotiations in the Senate Finance Committee:
Enzi found himself under attack at the town hall simply for sitting in the same room as the three Finance Committee Democrats. Republicans in the crowd called for him to exit the talks. He assured conservatives that his presence was delaying health care reform."If I hadn't been involved in this process as long as I have and to the depth as I have, you would already have national health care," he said.
It is good to know that we have decided to trade national health care for an occasional conversation with Mike Enzi.
