The office in charge of implementing President Obamas health care law is
being spared from sequestration cuts and furloughs. Gary Cohen, director
of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, said Wednesday
his office was not forced to cut worker hours due to the
across-the-board spending cuts that rolled out in March, The Hill reported.Republicans
have accused the Obama administration of cherry-picking projects and agencies
that would be slapped hardest by sequestration. Most recently, furloughing
FAA workers have caused massive delays at airports across the country.Rep.
Greg Harper, R-Miss., reportedly said the fact that ObamaCare officials
havent had their hours cuts highlights the political nature of the cuts."We're
talking about at least a 15 percent furlough of current air-traffic controllers,
resulting in delays and perhaps safety concerns, but yet this has been
a selective political item by the administration," Harper said.Cohen maintains
his office is still feeling the pinch because they are under a
hiring freeze but Harper said during an Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee
hearing that he wasn't buying it.Click for more from The Hill.

framework for the immigration overhaul, which would create a long and costly
path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people in the U.S.
illegally, was no small feat for senators. And getting it through a
divided Congress is still far from a done deal.Even so, gay rights
groups, their lobbyists and grass-roots supporters are insisting the deal
shouldn't exclude bi-national, same-sex couples -- about 28,500 of them,
according to a 2011 study from the Williams Institute at UCLA Law.
They're ramping up a campaign to change the bill to allow gay
Americans to sponsor their partners for green cards, the same way straight
Americans can. Supporters trekked to the Capitol to make their case at
senators' offices on Wednesday."Opponents will be proposing amendments that,
if passed, could collapse this very fragile coalition that we've been able
to achieve," Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, said last week at
the unveiling of the bill. He said the eight senators from both
parties who crafted the legislation are committed to voting against changes
that could kill it.For Dem
