Henry Waxman may have been present at the “bipartisan” White House summit, but it is clear he wasn’t paying attention.  “I think one of the results of today’s meeting is that the American people fully understand that this bill needs to go forward with a majority,” Waxman said.  “I don’t think too many people are going to quibble if it involves reconciliation,” The Hill quotes Henry Waxman saying.
