Obama promised 8 times during campaign to televise health care debate
New York Post ^ | January 6, 2010 | Clemente Lisi

The health care revolution will not be televised despite what President Obama promised you two years ago.

Obama has broken his campaign promises to make the health care debate a transparent process after saying he would do so on at least eight occasions during his 2008 White House run.

Everyone is talking about Obama's broken promise that you would be able to keep your health plan if you liked it.

But there hasn't been much talk about him breaking the other promise that he repeatedly made during his 2008 election campaign -- namely, that the debates around the health care legislation would be publicly televised before the law would be passed.

As Rhianna sang:

The media/ Democrat voter anthem

On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
don’t know why I’m still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you’ll always be my hero
Even though you’ve lost your mind

[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie

And to post on-line all legislation before it was voted upon, too. More crickets.

By now Obama knows that he can lie every time he speaks and his voters, the nice liberals, WON’T CARE. Obama could sell nukes to al Qaeda and it wouldn’t matter to them.

Dem’s are good at telling you a future that will never exist.

The absolute definition of lying is Obozo’s promises on just about everything. Example: First Day In Office Lie, “I will close Guantanamo by December 31st.” (That’s one of the very few promises I’m glad he broke)

It never would have passed if he did that.

Dont forget that staged mini-debate he had with Ryan and a few others on Obamacare late 2010.

That was a joke

Why would he have to "sell" them?

You’re right, if he needed money he’d just invest everyone else’s in more green energy companies. I suspect if Iran had nukes they would simply give them to some terrorist organization so that they’d appear blameless when New York got toasted. And there’d be no convincing me that Obama wasn’t at least partially involved somehow.

For Iran, plausible deniability. For 0', plausible deniability once removed. Either way, the same thing in essence.

I remember another phase...”We will now have a laser like focus on jobs”.

...errr, still waiting. I’m sure the media will hammer this home ;)

yeah, we were all suppose to watch it on CSPAN, right? Guess he lied... again.

At what point does the country wake up to the truth? Obama lies on purpose. He has absolutely no respect for American citizens. He’s a typical democrat politician.

Nice to know the so-called journalists at the New York Times are on this story... they'll share the news about Obama's lying and betrayals. The Times boys understand the people have a right to know...

LOL... just kidding. The suck-ups at the New York Times are not capable of letting anyone know anything bad about democrats because they're the propaganda arm of the DNC... my bad...

thanks...I had forgotten about this.

I remember CSPAN's Brian Lamb being furious about this.
