Fishy statements about health care reform  

Keith Hennessey reports some "fishy" statements to flag@whitehouse.gov...

I call to your attention several fishy statements about health care reform legislation made by a gentleman named Dr. Douglas Elmendorf.  He claims to be Director of the "Congressional Budget Office" and has posted frequently about health care reform on his website, cbo.gov.  This information takes the form of personal posts on his Director's Blog, as well as in-depth reports that have the veneer of competent, thorough, impartial professional analysis.  The IP address of his site is 206.106.246.254, and his organization has named their hideout the "Ford House Office Building."

Elmendorf appears to have several hundred followers in his organization, which has extraordinary influence over many in Congress.  I understand that some right-wing Members of Congress support and even vote for his annual funding source.

Read the whole list at the link.  I look forward to the response from the White House.
