Democrats to close Offutt Air Base if Sen. Nelson votes no

Democrats threaten Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson to get his vote on
ObamaCare.

According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC (closure) list if Nelson doesn't fall into line.

Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska.


As our source put it, this is a "naked effort by Rahm Emanuel (pictured above at the Obama Inauguration last January) and the White House to extort Nelson's vote." They are "threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?" asked the Senate staffer.

Washington Democrats will do anything to get ObamaCare passed.
