Cooper causing trouble again.
Perhaps Jim Cooper is simply too honest for Washington D.C. In a Huffington Post op-ed, Cooper reveals he was basically ordered by the House Democratic Leadership NOT to work with moderate Republicans on health care reform.Cooper:
Something major happened yesterday. Democrats and Republicans, working together, unveiled a bipartisan comprehensive health care reform plan. Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and Howard Baker did what Congress is failing to do. They met all of President Obama’s goals, and they fully financed their proposal.
And the White House released a statement praising this bipartisan leadership. In the House of Representatives, meanwhile, we are explicitly told not to work with Republicans.
