Pelosi's patronage pampers the profitable -- Nancy Pelosi once said that we had to pass Obamacare so we could find out what's in it. And now that we're finding out what's in it, her own constituents are getting a pass on it. TheDC's Matthew Boyle reports: "Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama’s administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Northern California district... Pelosi’s district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn’t have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers. Other common waiver recipients were labor union chapters, large corporations, financial firms and local governments. But Pelosi’s district’s waivers are the first major examples of luxurious, gourmet restaurants and hotels getting a year-long pass from Obamacare. For instance, Boboquivari’s restaurant in Pelosi’s district in San Francisco got a waiver from Obamacare. Boboquivari’s advertises $59 porterhouse steaks, $39 filet mignons and $35 crab dinners." It's all about helping the little guy. Oh wait, they don't want us calling it "Obamacare." How about calling it "Astonishing Corruption"? No, that doesn't really narrow it down.What happened to making the rich pay their fair share? If there was ever any proof that Obamacare should be repealed, this is it.
