Obama Then and Now
Of course, now that the bill is in the reconciliation process, Obama's White House is singing a different tune. Rather than going through the normal process of a conference committee, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and Democrat committee heads are huddled behind closed doors to produce a package they can all agree on. No cameras, no witnesses, no Republicans, and no transparency.
As for candidate Obama's promise? Well, It wasn't really a promise, just a campaign promise, which means it can be ignored as soon as the votes were counted.
When asked about Obama's campaign promise, which specifically mentioned C-Span, White House press secretary and shoeshine boy Robert Gibbs refused to answer.
That a sitting President would baldly lie to the American people in order to get elected neither surprised Republicans nor offended Democrats.
Sadly, we've learned to expect nothing more from our presidents.
