Sen. John McCain, speaking on the Senate floor, took aim at
President Obama for reneging on his pledge that health care
negotiations would be broadcast on C-SPAN.
“A year ago last October, then candidate for president said,
‘It’s all going to be on C-SPAN,” McCain said mockingly of his
election opponent, pointing his finger in the air. “The C-SPAN
cameras are still waiting outside of Sen. Reid’s office to go in
and film these negotiations so that, as President Obama said
then, ‘all Americans can see who’s on the side of the
pharmaceutical companies, and who’s on the side of the American
people.’”
McCain jested, “C-SPAN, keep waiting, we’re going to try and get
you in.”

About time someone called Obama out on his lies.

Y'know, I see a lot of debate and hearing coverage here.
Is it 100% transparency, of course not. But would we have gotten that had McCain been president? Would he have ordered Congress to have every single negotiation meeting open to C-SPAN cameras, and would every non-classified meeting he had have been open to C-SPAN cameras?
Yeah, don't think so.

I guess old John still thinks “Obama is an honorable man” and a “patriot.”

So nice for John McCain to actually locate his testicles, albeit 14-15 months too late.

Sam:
Am sooo tired of McCain bouncing all over every issue and showing his mental confusion. Hopefully, the electorate in Arizona will enable him to sleep in after the 2010 election and get the rest he dearly needs.
