These clips also show the serpent’s demonization of the pharmaceutical and insurance industry.

I visited the U.S. National Holocaust Memorial and Museum recently. One of the things the museum notes is the propagandist’s targeting of an enemy to demonize. Obama hasn’t sent the thugs out to smash the windows of Pfizer and Blue Cross, but he’s doing everything else up to that point.

All he has to say...I will NOT sign anything that is NOT openly debated, discussed on C-SPAN just like I promised numerous times.

That is what a principled, honest and ethical leader would do and an honest, ethical congress would oblige.

The truth can handle the light of day...the lies cannot thus they meet in the dark.

True. He has no control over what the House and Senate actually do. The President can only suggest or request. He knows that, so it was a really stupid thing for him to say. Actually believing it was an even bigger mistake on the part of anyone who voted for him.

But as the leader of the majority party conducting these negotiations, he can certainly demand that they open the negotiations. As he said:

"We will work on this process publicly... we'll have the negotiations publicly on CSPAN... it will be transparent and accountable to the American people... one of my jobs as the president will be to guide this process so that it is an honest process..."

Of course he won't, because he's giving away our money for votes.

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."
