OK, so here’s the beef C-Span, and a few other people have:
This stems from:
President Barack Obama and congressional Democratic leaders agreed Tuesday to bypass a conference committee and keep negotiations to reconcile the Senate and House health care reform bills a closed-door affair.
They concluded that the House will work off the Senate’s version, amend it and send it back to the Senate for final passage, according to a House leadership aide, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the private meeting.
Obama held an Oval Office meeting Tuesday evening with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his No. 2, Sen. Dick Durbin joined in by phone.
Now, some people would contend “transparency” and “closed-door”, or “private”, conflict. Not Nancy Pelosi. Her response to the C-Span request:
“There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail.”
and
“There has never been a more open process for any legislation,” Pelosi said at a press conference.”
OK, there’s more change you can believe in. I truly love Pelosi’s ability to say things so stupid the press has no ability to pursue questioning any further. How do you follow that up?

Yeah, the stuff that has comes out of the mouths of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd just blows me away. In particular, if you disagree with them on anything you are an ignorant, racist, gun slinging, religious militia birther type.
