Brian Lamb, CEO of C-SPAN, has sent a plea to leaders of congress to allow cameras in to the meetings set to craft the final consensus version of the healthcare bill that President Obama wants so very badly. If you are going to spend a gazillion dollars of taxpayer money, shouldn't the taxpayer be allowed to see what you are drafting. After all, as you can see from the video below, transparency was one of the pledges Obama made in relation to these very same meetings.
Words are nice, but action is better. Under our current government processes that should be kept secret become transparent, and dealings that should be and have been promised to be transparent are kept secret. Come on guys, let C-SPAN in.

I am not nore have I ever been a fan of Obama....he says that he will keep things in the open.....but he does not mean that. They will only be in the open after it is too late to change what needs to be put on the back shelf and forgotten. One term Obama has spoken.
Agreed elwoodin. I am not a big fan of the current administration as you can tell from occasional posts I put up.
