So Much For Transparency

"I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies.” --Barack Obama, August, 2008

So much for Obama's promises. Then again, Afghanistan was a war of necessity back in March when Obama chose his general (McChrystal), announced his strategy, and took ownership of the war. Now, he's revising again and still blaming Bush. How pathetic.

On health, Obama has made a deal with 'Big Pharma' to get them onside. And, why wouldn't they, now the government will pay for drugs for millions of people just like they do now for seniors thanks to Bush's idiotic Prescription Drug Plan.

America needs a new entitlement program like it needs a hole in the head. The fact is, America is spending it's way towards implosion and the destruction of its democratic institutions by straying far from the wisdom of the Founding Fathers who set up a system for limited government to prevent tyranny. Remove the foundation and the house will eventually collapse.

Newt Gingrich: "President Obama has failed to deliver on his repeated promises of transparency and openness.
But that doesn’t mean that we have to silently accept a government health care bill that was negotiated in secret and paid for with deals cut with special interests using our tax dollars.
Please sign the Center for Health Transformation’s (CHT) petition here, to tell Washington that We The People demand that all bills be publicly available, including legislative language and accurate budget analysis, at least 72 hours prior to any vote by Congress or committees in Congress."

Thomas Jefferson said: "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first."
