The clowns in congress love to see themselves on television. Except when it comes to ObamaCare. Now C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb has told them to put up or shut up. In so many words.
He wrote to leaders in the House and Senate urging them to televise “all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings.”
“The C-SPAN networks,” he added, “will commit the necessary resources to covering all of the sessions LIVE and in their entirety.”
Not gonna happen. Contrary to the President’s pledge of full transparency, it now appears that top Democrats in the House, Senate and White House will work out all the niggling little details behind closed doors before sending this bloated atrocity of a bill back for a final vote.
Hmmmmm. Candidate Obama’s words seem to conflict with President Obama’s actions. Here’s what he said on the campaign trail in a debate with Hillary:
“That’s what I will do in bringing all parties together, not negotiating behind closed doors, but bringing all parties together, and broadcasting those negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are.”
In the words of Nancy Pelosi, “Lots of things are said on the campaign trail.”
Translation: “Don’t believe a word we say.”

Wow, a whole hour of C-SPAN for Americans to watch the a debate on a Gov't Take Over of Health Care & a sixth of the economy... I guess I should be thankful, I don't think the Conservatives even got that !! But it does sorta CYA for another broken promise.. sorta
Word is that they'll allow one hour to be televised. It takes Obama more time than that to warm up TOTUS and with all of his "ums" and "ahs" they'll only get to deciding on the misleading name of the legislation.
I am voting for "Obama's Humongous Societal Health Insurance Travesty" or OHSHIT for short (sorry about the language).
My guess is that they are writing the script for the one hour unreality show now.
Hey, give the guy a break! He only made eight speeches promising the C-span thing. Everybody knows that the standard for Progressives and Liberals is 10 speeches.
So, Obama lies again. What's new? The guy's got the integrity of a snake. He's just following the lead of other prominent Democratic liars… Al Gore, Teddy Kennedy, Clinton (either one of them)…
