Rahm Emanuel: WH Was "Involved" In Health Legislation "All The Way Through"
COURIC: As you know, people were pretty disgusted by deals that were made up on Capitol Hill like the one given to Ben Nelson to win his support. If the White House was so involved, was this done with your blessing? But -
EMANUEL: Look, we were involved in the legislation all the way through.
This contradicts what President Obama told ABC earlier this week:
OBAMA: Let's hold on a second, Diane. I mean, I think that this gets into a big mush. So let's just clarify. I didn't make a bunch of deals. There is a legislative process that is taking place in Congress and I am happy to own up to the fact that I have not changed Congress and how it operates the way I would have liked. So that's point number one.
