I find no great fault with WHAT HE SAID.....however I am more interested in what he does/has done.

He made backrroom deals with ALL the big business's,,,,drug companies, insurance companies etc while working on the great and wonderful health care bill...BACK ROOM DEALS mind you...not open. The continue to get rich because of that.

Listen, I said this about President Obama in 2008.....do not listen to the sweet prose...watch what he does !!! He is the master of the back room stuff that he then comes out and decries and nobody calls him on it.

If you think about it.....REALLY think about it without any bias, you will find it to be true.

One example...

"For months I've been reporting in The Huffington Post that President Obama made a backroom deal last summer with the for-profit hospital lobby that he would make sure there would be no national public option in the final health reform legislation. (See here, here and here). I've been increasingly frustrated that except for an initial story last August in the New York Times, no major media outlet has picked up this important story and investigated further."

Another one...

"President Obama promised that all health care negotiations would be public. Over the course of a year, at campaign appearances, on national TV shows and to newspaper editorial boards, he said that he wanted to “shame” politicians and lobbyists who might otherwise give good deals to drug or insurance companies. It hasn’t worked out that way.

At an Aug. 21, 2008, town-hall meeting in Virginia, Mr. Obama promised: “I’m going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We’ll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies — they’ll get a seat at the table, they just won’t be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we’ll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies.”

In a campaign ad last fall, Mr. Obama said: “The pharmaceutical industry wrote into the prescription drug plan that Medicare could not negotiate with drug companies. And you know what? The chairman of the committee, who pushed the law through, went to work for the pharmaceutical industry making $2 million a year. Imagine that.”

That’s all nice rhetoric, but it doesn’t explain Mr. Obama’s backroom deal with drug manufacturers. According to the New York Times, the administration promised that whatever industry first reached an agreement over government health care would get “a rock-solid deal.” Pharmaceutical companies have agreed to reduce drug prices by $80 billion in exchange for a promise that Medicare will not be allowed to negotiate drug prices further.

This is our President at his best....

"President Obama is on the brink of cutting a backroom deal that would give bankers broad immunity for illegally throwing tens of thousands of Americans out of their homes. The Administration is pressuring state attorneys general to abandon an ongoing investigation into the massive “robo-signing” fraud, in exchange for a relatively small payoff by the banks."

Now if you just thiink of the promises for public hearings, WE GOT NONE...if you think of the backroom payoff to get votes for the healthcare bill, etc.

Listen, there are always things that are negotiated but nothing on the scale that this man has pulled off PLUS...AND I think this is important....he then makes public speeches like this one and it is a different..COMPLETELY different story. He is the master of this !

I do not want my President making backroom deals of this magnitude and then speaking out the other side of his face in public.
