"It has nothing to do with the group being singled out"

No? So how come when the tea party gets 'singled out', it's the IRS that is singling them out for persecution. When the AFL-CIO gets 'singled out', it's to single them out for cash gifts from the White House? Just a coincidence, right?

"If it was approved I'm sure you'd have other groups coming out of the wood work claiming similar legal exemptions."

That's what happened when Obama wanted to include cadillac plan tax amnesty for unions, and hge thought no one wold notice. When Obama realized that he couldn't single out the unions that way, he deleted that amnesty from the law. In other words, Obama didn't remove that lophole until it was clear to him that he couldn't apply it just to the unions. Menaing, his original intent was for the amnesty (kickback) to apply only to his staunchest political supporters.

Do even you believe the stuff you type?

Still waiting for a response on why Obama said raising the debt ceiling was "un-patriotic" in 2006, but a sign of brilliance today. Hmmmmm?
