Geee Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Washington Examiner:In Michigan, GOP guns for House fixture DingellBy: BYRON YORK Chief Political CorrespondentSeptember 20, 2010Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich. (AP)When House Democrats passed Obamacare in March, Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave special credit to Michigan Rep. John Dingell. For good reason: The 84-year-old lawmaker is the embodiment of the party's long quest to establish national health care. Dingell's father, first elected to Congress in 1932, tried but failed to achieve the goal, and his son, who took the seat when the elder Dingell died in 1955, has pursued it in each of his 55 years in the House.Now, his life's ambition realized, Dingell might soon be out of a job.
