Obama lies about his lies : Re: Health Care coverage on C-span

In his extraordinary question-and-answer exchange with House Republicans, President Obama fielded a query from Representative Jason Chaffetz, a freshman from Utah, who asserted that Mr. Obama and Democrats had shut Republicans out of the health care debate and that the president had broken a campaign promise to let C-Span show health care negotiations on live television.

“When you stood up before the American people multiple times and said you would broadcast the health care debates on C-Span, you didn’t,” Mr. Chaffetz said. “I was disappointed, and I think a lot of Americans were disappointed.”

Mr. Chaffetz, acknowledging his colleague from Tennessee, Representative Phil Roe, added: “You said you’d go line by line through the health care debate — or through the health care bill. And there were six of us, including Dr. Phil Roe, who sent you a letter and said we would like to take you up on that offer; we’d like to come. We never heard a letter. We never got a call. We were never involved in any of those discussions.”

Mr. Obama, during his 2008 presidential campaign, said repeatedly that C-Span would be allowed to cover negotiations on health care legislation between his administration and private stakeholders, like the insurance and pharmaceutical industries and doctor and hospital groups.

Most of those negotiations actually took place last spring and summer at the White House, and Mr. Chaffetz accurately noted that they were conducted behind closed doors.

Mr. Obama, in his response, insisted that much of the health care debate was carried on C-Span as part of the proceedings in Congress, including hearings and floor debate.

I love when he stated, "I take responsibility for that". What does that mean? Maybe he should step down for being a tool of the elites and failing to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. In my eyes, he failed and failure in s professional sense should be acted upon. This actions should include impeachment, with a proceding treason trial. His actions and the actions of his Fed appointees have further driven us into a nation of failure. All these actions are coordinated to allow us to implode. Atleast we still have the 2A to fall back on to. We The People still possess the right to remove the tyranny.
