So where was the 'transparency'?.
He doesn't say it once.
He says it an awful lot of times.

[s.rwitt]

And let the American people see the Dems bribing every Senator they needed with pork projects? Yeah right.

[motiv-8]

Sooo... Where does Obama have the power to determine what Congressional hearings are done publicly and on national television?

Just wondering.

He has said in all them clips it will be televised on c-span.
And he is 'allegedly' the president.
Lies upon lies.

So you are ok with the lies then?

Are you capable of composing a rational argument?

How about helping answer the question next time.

Sooo... what part of that actually addresses the question of whether Obama has the power to make Congressional hearings public?

Did people suddenly forget about separation of powers because a black guy got voted in? So bizarre..

Well seeing how every American is effected by this bill you would of thought that they would want to hear about what is happening would you not?
And just to make matters worse.
From Reuters....

White House on defensive on health care

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House was put on the defensive Wednesday after President Barack Obama pushed congressional leaders to fast-track health care legislation behind closed doors despite his campaign promises of an open process.

"The president wants to get a bill to his desk as quickly as possible," Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said as reporters questioned him repeatedly about Obama's decision to go along with House and Senate leaders in bypassing the usual negotiations between the two chambers in the interest of speed.

When are you Americans going to wake up to the fact that this government does not serve their own people?
Wait till it all comes into place then everyone will suddenly realise how bad things are.

You need to find a better news source than inforwars.

[Gaidin]

Not to mention the fact that Obama has no power over what channels like CSPAN air and don't air.

You really think it's hard for Obama to get networks to film him, lmao.

No, Mr. president, we have Mr. Kucinich scheduled that evening

film him? Sure he can give interviews and networks will show them. Get congress televisied when they don't want to be, or c-span doesn't want to show it? Not a chance.

So he said he promised to do something he knew he had no control over...Well that's a first, I dont even know what to do about it. I have never heard him lie before.

[Gaidin]

Again, you didn't answer his question.

Any American can read what is in the bill. Just because it's not in the medium you would prefer doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's not an effective argument.

AHHH! HYSTERIA!! AAHHHH!!!!!

This stuff really lightens my mood. Now, don't get me wrong, this bill doesn't do nearly as much as it should, nor close to what the original goals were, but good God, sometimes I feel like I'm reading Revelation rather than a coherent and rational political argument.

President Barack Obama pushed congressional leaders

Ah. Just as I thought. Congress controls it.

\bypassing the usual negotiations between the two chambers in the interest of speed.

Interesting that, regardless of this supposed speed, this legislature is taking absolutely FOREVER to be passed and actually has included negotiation when Republicans weren't too busy making red herring arguments about taking away Medicare, death panels, and any and other nonsense they could think of. Is the CBO bi-partisan or not?

Its taking forever because not EVERY democrat is a lemming.

Just most of them.

Were such a thing true (and I believe it is, regardless of political party), that actually is not the reason it is taking forever. Obstructionism -- stalling tactics and foot-draggin by the opposition in lieu of any rational discourse or meaningful objections/alternatives -- is.

I found it trite when Democracts stalled on defense bills and I find it just as trite now.

Yes, heaven forbid anyone tries to get time to even read the bills before voting eh?

I believe you even said it wasn't a good bill, what are you cheering for then?

Congressman have large staffs that can read and compile executive summaries in a matter of weeks, not days. That's not a particularly genuine or interesting jab.

I believe you even said it wasn't a good bill, what are you cheering for then?

I'm sorry.. I'm cheering? And how would that be? Please, DO explain. You know, you keep saying stuff like that, and yet you have not once substantiated it. Sounds like you've been watching a lot of C-SPAN yourself.

Totally agreed.
