He won't demand that congress televise the negotiation, because he doesn't want the people to know what is going on.
The number of excuses for Obama is inexhaustible.
"If the people could see the negotiations, the bill would not pass." The ends justify the means. Really? I hate both.
"We can't expect Obama to be perfect."
"We have been debating this for 2 years." The Heritage Foundation says this is like not televising the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl.
"When he made that promise in the campaign, he didn't know how hard it would be to keep." This is a rephrasing of Machiavelli's "The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present."
“”We have been debating this for 2 years.” The Heritage Foundation says this is like not televising the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl.”
Exactly!!
I got a few freepers mad at me (very unusual LOL) when I gave Pelosi credit for the crappy stimulus and said Obama was a passenger in that process (yes, we can blame Obama since he promoted it publically!) but I agree with DDDfD that Obama is directing the final passage of this Health Reform bill. And he knows they cant have cameras or it wouldnt pass. Obama needs a bill passed and immediately #1 priority.
