Transparent as a lead door

Well Obama once again has proven that he is not a man of his word. Big surprise, right? On the campaign trail, Obama promised a "transparent and bi-partisan government". I suppose that only applies to those items that they actually want the public to know about, health care reform is apparently not one of these items.

The health care reform is certainly a "fundamental change" to our system. The .gov is taking over health care just as it has taken over or shall we call it "nationalized" the financial and automotive sectors.

According to an article in the LA Times today, Obama now favors the "Cadillac Tax", something that his buddy in the SEIU and other unions are strongly opposed to. As union backing is the cornerstone of keeping this administration in office (that is if you exclude the voter fraud that groups like ACORN helped with), it will be interesting to see how long they will continue to support someone who gives the m the shaft along with the rest of the public.

To show how "transparent" this administration is taking this whole debacle, here are a few quotes from the LA Times: "A Senate aid who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the closed-door meetings said that the White House had signaled it would "convene and run" meetings from now on as lawmakers strive to reach a consensus" and "On one point both chambers seem to agree: keeping the negotiations private".

Note that the meetings are closed-door and cannot be discussed? What is going on behind those "transparent" doors? Very simple, the American public is being sold out for the Socialist agenda of this administration.

An open comment to our lawmakers; look at what the public wants. Put this whole bill up for a vote in front of the American people,. We are having a mid-term election in a year, well before this bill is set to go into effect. Place this measure on the ballot and let U.S. decide if we want it. Simple majority rules. Let's see if you first have the nerve to do this and second if the public is going to let you give us the shaft.
