Rahm saw it coming

Back when he was White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel "begged" Obama to take an incremental approach to health care reform and pushed for scaled-down legislation that could gather bipartisan support.  The One responded that he "wasn't sent here to do school uniforms" and pushed forward with this monstrosity.
