As Democrat leaders huddle behind closed doors to work out their final version of Obamacare legislation, the Republican National Committee goes after the broken promises of transparency made by Harry Reid and Barack Obama:
Presidential candidate Obama promised over and over, and over, and over, and over, again not to negotiate health care reform behind closed doors, to bring all parties together and to broadcast those negotiations on C-SPAN:
- He said it at Google --November 14, 2007
- He said it at the CNN Democrat Presidential Debate -- January 31, 2008
- He said it during an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle -- January 17, 2008 [the same interview during which Obama said his cap and trade plan would bankrupt anyone who builds a coal-powered plant and electricity rates will skyrocket.]
- He said it at an Ohio Town Hall -- March 2008
- He said it during an interview with the St. Petersburg Times -- May 2008
It is truly unfortunate that President Obama did not keep those promises, but instead, chose to meet privately with healthcare executives, cut a deal with drug firms in secret, and outsourced the drafting of the Obamacare legislation to the highly partisan, Democrat-controlled Congress.
For more info: More Obama say one thing do another - Obamacare edition ♦ Opposition panics Obama and Democrats ♦ Democrats' rush and tax is not the way to reform health care ♦ Democrats agree to raise taxes and cut Medicare to fund health care reform ♦ Democrats' rush and spend approach to health care reform ♦ The Democrats' rush to ration healthcare ♦ Schwartz defends Democrats' $550 billion health care spending tax

Didn't Dick Cheney established a secret "Energy Task Force," formally known as the National Energy Policy Development Group for the purpose of making recommendations to President Bush on energy policy? But you wont report that........Hypocrite
Notice how the Left never own up to their own malfeasances? They always refer back to Bush. What an underhanded, immoral, lot they are. Man up, Libbies, and fix your own problems - which are quickly adding up. Obama is the hypocrite. Say one thing, do another. Isn't that called . . . lying?
TaxExemptGod, besides your being blasphemous, has ObaMao released the names of the health care industry leaders he sat in private with to form his takeover of the health care industry?
NO!
But, who WOULD have been a better choice to discuss energy than people in the field? Should he have spoken to, say, dentists?

So the Bush administration did nothing bad?

Maybe some Windex would help with the transparency issue -- the windows seem to be a little cloudy and nothing else seems to be working to clear things up!
