Obama Picks Rahm Emanuel’s Brother To Replace Daschle
Because nothing says hope, change and accountability like nepotism.
WASHINGTON—While the Obama White House is searching for a replacement for health czar Tom Daschle, policy work on health care reform—a priority for the administration—Is ongoing with one key advisor especially well connected.
The brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a noted bioethicist, is advising the Obama administration on health care reform.
Dr. Emanuel is the Chair of the Department of Bioethics at The Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health and a breast oncologist.
Dr. Emanuel is a special advisor to the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget for health policy. He told me he is “working on (the) health care reform effort.” He is “detailed” to the OMB spot and is still officially an employee of the NIH.
Alright, maybe the nepotism thing is unfair. But the big question is: How soon until we find out that this guy didn’t pay his taxes?
