House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, piqued with White House pressure to accept the Senate health reform bill, threw a rare rhetorical elbow Tuesday at President Barack Obama, questioning his commitment to his 2008 campaign promises.

A leadership aide said it was no accident.

Pelosi emerged from a meeting with her leadership team and committee chairs in the Capitol to face an aggressive throng of reporters who immediately hit her with C-SPAN’s request that she permit closed-door final talks on the bill to be televised.

A reporter reminded the San Francisco Democrat that in 2008, then-candidate Obama opined that all such negotiations be open to C-SPAN cameras.

“There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail,” quipped Pelosi, who has no intention of making the deliberations public.

And....?
 
It would appear the in-fighting is getting quite testy in those Democrat circles...
 
Ah, and the CSPAN issue is growing louder and louder.

Obama promised repeatedly to make negotiations open and public - and went so far as to knock the Clintons for not doing so when they attempted to legislate health care change...

Are you trying to expose that Obama lies?:eek:

Too late, buddy!! We already know that!! :lol:


It is perhaps the quantity of lies that is being noted - and the still protective media that attempts to wash them away.

This CSPAN story is developing nicely though...

And....?

Interesting because it:

1. Appears to say Obama lied about supporting a public option.
2. Shows Pelosi is not helping tranparency in DC.
3. Shows division between House Democrats and the President.
4. Sounds like Pelosi is about to swallow a bitter pill and doesn't want it on TV.
