C-SPAN calls on Washington to broadcast debates on healthcare.....

  • Mr. 300
    Just as The Bamster said he would on the campaign trail.

    I think this is good. Can Barry spin this into something else???
  • majorspark
    This will fall on deaf ears. No way they will let the cameras in.
  • Writerbuckeye
    Can't screw over the American people if too much information gets out in advance.

    Barry knows this.
  • Mr. 300
    Tough to say much about this, as Barry's own words have come back to haunt him.

    Say, did he take special interest out of Washington, DC and the government as a whole???
  • believer
    The most transparent administration in U.S. history will never allow it.
  • cbus4life
    Pretty stupid on Obama's part if they don't allow it.
  • fish82
    AFAIK, It isn't Obama's call. It's Nancy & Harry's. Shockingly, it seems as though Her Majesty is not in favor...

    Pelosi tells C-SPAN: 'There has never been a more open process'

    I really think she's just so batshit crazy that she doesn't even know the spew she puts forth anymore.

    AHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, the irony!
    Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), assistant to the Speaker, said the healthcare bill had been "subjected to unprecedented level of public scrutiny."
    Pressed on whether C-SPAN cameras would be allowed in negotiations, Van Hollen hedged.

    "We don't even know if there's going to be a conference committee," he said, alluding to the likelihood that Democrats will reconcile the two bills behind closed doors.

    Of course it will be behind closed doors because they know that open public scrutiny on this 100% Democrat-owned debacle will be disastrous for the party.

    NOT opening this up will also be a major problem.

    It's the proverbial "you've made your bed now lie in it" scenario.

    Pelosi is a little bitch.

    And Harry is a douche.

    I am done with those two, and most democrats in Congress.

    Thank God there are third parties i can allign with.

    Eight clips of Obama promising televised negotiations
  • Prescott
    Promises don't mean much to Mr.Obama.

    It's BECAUSE of all the closed door meetings and 2am votes that this bill has received the amount of public scrutiny.

    This administration has not been transparent on one issue yet. Why would only one of the biggest spending bills in the history of the US be any different.

    See....I disagree with you on the highlighted point.

    I believe that she knows exactly what she is doing......

    Agreed.

    Pelosi may be a lot of things, but she isn't stupid. She is a very smart politician and knows how to play the game.

    Honestly, I put her in the "evil" category. Her motives are pure politics to the detriment of just about everything that is good, fair and right about this country.

    This is true for about 98% of those in Congress.

    I'm sure she's not actually a retard. She just plays one on TV.

    This is so hard to sit by helplessly and watch happen. I have written countless letters, made numerous phone calls, and gone to town halls to ask questions, but no one will listen to what the people want. Now, it will be done behind our backs and shoved down our throats....

    There are reasons why one after another they are deciding to not run for re-election. 2010 and 2012 I know I will be sending a message with my votes! Hopefully the rest of the country will too!

    CNN's Jack Cafferty rips the Dem's and Obama to shreds over this...



    Standing ovation!!

    This was a flat out Obama campaign trail lie to get elected. This congress is as dishonest as I have ever seen it, and that goes with the spineless republicans in there as well.
