Senators Chris Dodd and Max Baucus emerged from their secret, closed-door ObamaCare meetings with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Obama Administration officials just long enough to brag about their openness and transparency.
No, it's not a joke. According to Jeffrey Young with The Hill:
"Two senators at the forefront of healthcare reform went to great lengths Tuesday to brag about how open and transparent the legislative process has been. Then, they resumed prepping for another closed-door meeting."
Young added:
"Addressing the press Tuesday afternoon, Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee patted themselves and each other on the back for writing their healthcare reform bills in public view even as they remained tight-lipped about their private meetings with Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and White House officials...."
Baucus told the assembled reporters:
"I have not been involved in such an open and transparent process as this. I'm very, very proud that we have done it... it's so important to remind ourselves that no effort that I've been involved in and I don't think anyone else in the Senate's been involved with - certainly nothing with such significance and magnitude - has been so open and transparent as this. Totally open and transparent and I'm very proud of it."
Dodd added:
"Let me pick up on the point that Sen. Baucus was making. The suggestion somehow that this is being done otherwise is just blatantly false and a distraction from really we need to be talking about."
And when Dodd and Baucus were finished, they resumed their secret ObamaCare meetings.
Will you get to see the final version of ObamaCare before liberals try to ram it through Congress?
Will our elected officials even bother to read the Obamanation that comes out of these secret meetings before voting?
If the past is any indication of what the immediate future holds, you already know the answer.

I'm sick of all these lies from both parties. Time to kick all the career politicians out!
You know, it's amazing to me that no matter what transpires in WA, the left still blindly follow their messiah...I think it will get to the point very soon, that he will be able to actually admit on screen, to being a bold faced liar, and they will cheer him on...
Amazing!
Of course, I don't want to see that...no one does, but if he is PROVEN to be inelligible to be in office, the longer we let him stay in, at that point, the less likely it is, they will MAKE him go...he has done enough damage already...we will just have to face whatever we have to and cll out the local citizens and deputize them to help in the effort...guns are pretty good equalizers against these kinds of riots.
