3 Senators, Obama Secretly Write Health Bill

When he was a presidential candidate, Barack Obama promised to make negotiations over healthcare reform an open and transparent process. Now that he's president, the reality is that most of the high-stakes work is being conducted by just three senators behind closed doors.

According to the Washington Post, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sens. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and Max Baucus, D-Mont., gather in Reid's office to hammer out a merger of competing bills before a Senate vote. The only other people allowed in the room are key aides and Obama's representatives on healthcare reform.

More than a year ago, Obama promised something entirely different.

Buy ammo, because you’d better already have the weapon to use it in.

Practice.

The time is close.

Folks, those aren't the only THREE writing our bills.

Don’t kid yourselves.

These three as well as the appointed “czars” are OUR, drum roll, SHADOW GOVERNMENT.

When these bills are presented, there is NO TIME to read them. It's always a “crisis”. After all why let a “crisis go to waste”. They really don't know what they are voting on. They don't care either. They will NOT post it on the Internet either because they don't want the “transparent” and “ethical” government they bragged about.

If you had to choose who were the last for people in the world you’d want writing your healthcare plan, wouldn’t it be these 4? At least with Pelosi, there would be a civil war, and it would get undone after the fact.

We must rise up in civil disobedience to protect our children . In the pattern of Michael (alias “Martin Luther”) King .We must shut things down like interstate highways and bridges . We must not sit in the back of the bus with witless republicrats who are impotent but in front of the bus like Chinese dissidents . STOP THIS NOW!!!

No Senator, and certainly not Obama, is “writing” the bill. People with better skills who are much more knowledgable and smarter are doing the writing. The politicians’ input is mainly in the form of telling the real authors that they need to seize as much power as possible over the system without being more obvious than is absolutely necessary.

You are absolutely right the shadow government is writing these if they didn’t write them in advance of their appointment and are only burning time on the golf course before cramming them down our throats. There is no crisis to ram it through ... I am waiting for the invented crisis from zero’s crew.

Obama is a liar. What else is new? How come no one actually involved in the healthcare industry is being brought in to help craft a bill that might actually make some sense? If the Dems really wanted a bipartisan bill, why not invite people like Tom Coburn and Bill Frist, people who are actually, you know...DOCTORS?!?

This can’t be true. Obama is not smart enough to write any bill.

Obama doesn’t write anything. He doesn’t work. Never has.
