Well here we are, once again at the threshold of a health care reform bill, that most Americans object to, being passed, and we have no idea of a) what is in it, b) the full scope of what it will do to the health care system as well as to Americans, c) how far into the system it reaches, and d) who will be paying for what, and when does the payments get to be used.
It seems funny to me that President Obama, who repeatedly told us he was going to have open discussions with everyone, and that these discussions would be able to be seen on C-Span. I am including a link that has President Obama making the televised discussion promise 8 times (http://www.breitbart.tv/the-c-span-lie-did-obama-really-promise-televised-healthcare-negotiations/).
Of course do we really need C-Span there? According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi we don't. On Tuesday afternoon Speaker Pelosi said, "There has never been a more open process for any legislation in anyone who’s served here’s experience," during a press conference. When she was told that President Obama had promised to have the discussion on C-Span Speaker Pelosi said with a chuckle, "there are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail.” (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/01/05/c-span-challenges-congress-open-health-care-talks-tv-coverage/), (http://americaswatchtower.com/2010/01/05/nancy-pelosi-takes-a-jab-at-barack-obamas-campaign-promises/).
If you are interested here is a link to a Fox News video of Speaker Pelosi's comments:

Also I am trying to post the video, hopefully this works.
Well everyone, there it is, the change we were promised and the transparency we were promised. If I were one of President Obama's staff I would be telling him he needs to opn the discussions up and let C-Span in. If he doesn't he will have shown the compete and total hypocrisy that is Washington DC, and shown how much lying one is willing to do to achieve a desired office.
