Conservatives furious as President-elect Romney taps Obamacare supporter to lead transition team

Mitt Romney in 2009 said he was "glad" President Obama was "copying" Romneycare's exchanges The crazy thing is that this isn't the Twilight Zone:

Mitt Romney's choice of Michael O. Leavitt as his transition chief has spurred loud opposition from some conservatives over Mr. Leavitt's support of a crucial part of President Obama's health care plan.

Mr. Leavitt, a former governor of Utah who was secretary of health and human services in George W. Bush's cabinet, is now a health care consultant who advises states on how to implement Mr. Obama's health law.

In an speech to the National Governors Association last year, Mr. Leavitt said that the health care 'exchanges' at the heart of what conservatives call 'Obamacare' were a good idea and should be implemented by state officials.

The exchanges, he told the governors, are 'a very practical solution to a problem that needs to be solved.'

Those comments have some conservatives seeing red in the wake of Mr. Romney's decision to tap Mr. Leavitt to oversee a transition process if Mr. Romney wins the election this November.

So Mitt Romney makes a big show about creating a transition team six freaking months before the election ... and this is what conservatives freak out about? Gosh, wait until they find out about Romneycare ... and the fact that Mitt Romney personally applauded the president for supporting health care exchanges, even saying Obama was "copying" the idea from Romneycare. When they learn about that, they'll really go ballistic ... until they remember what this election is really about: hating Barack Obama.
