The news­man and net­work anchor David Brink­ley once related a story about the time he asked Jack Kennedy just how he was going to make the announce­ment that he was going to make his younger brother Attor­ney Gen­eral.  Jack thought a minute and then said he was going to pick a night when there was a new moon and then go out into the Rose Gar­den at around 3 in the morn­ing and whisper

It’s Bobby.

Kennedy was kid­ding but it seems the Obama admin­is­tra­tion may have heard that story and taken it to heart.  A pledge to post the text of bills on the Inter­net and give Amer­i­cans a week to read them has passed through the worm hole of the Obama White House and emerged as a sort of anti-transparency par­ti­cle whereby even the peo­ple vot­ing on the bill don’t get to read it.

Now that the bill has passed both the House and the Sen­ate in their respec­tive ver­sions high school civics tells us that it goes to a con­fer­ence com­mit­tee where the two ver­sions are rec­on­ciled, then the con­fer­ence ver­sion is passed by each cham­ber and it goes to the president.

Hah!  As Ed Mor­ris­sey details in his lat­est post for Hot Air that may be the way things used to be done but no more.  There is too much chance one of those pesky Repub­li­cans might see the final ver­sion and tell some­body what’s in it before it gets passed and signed into law.

Can’t Have That!

So they’re just going to pass notes back and forth and hope the teacher, in the form of the Amer­i­can Pub­lic, doesn’t catch them at it.

HOWEVER… The Nolan­im­rod has man­aged to get a look at the sec­tions of the bill as it was being shut­tled back and forth between the cham­bers and I am going to dis­play here, for the first time, the pic­ture of sev­eral sec­tions of the bill on their way from the Sen­ate to the House.

Sec­tions of the Health Care Bill on Their Way

Rep. Max­ine Waters (D-Calif.) cast vote #218, solid­i­fy­ing pas­sage. Speaker Pelosi was “near sobbing,”

This tough, second-generation polit­i­cal oper­a­tive, not likely to twist many hankies, is weep­ing tears of emotion?

All dur­ing the time the sit­u­a­tion in Iraq was pretty bad, and it looked like we might lose it, the Democ­rats were pray­ing for awful things to happen.

When Gen­eral Petraeus  tes­ti­fied to Con­gress about the pol­icy, called the “surge,” we have here some video of one of the top Democ­rats, drip­ping with sar­casm, call­ing him a liar, before he even opened his mouth.

They wanted us to lose then.  They were against us, this nation, U.S., the Amer­i­can peo­ple then.

Where do you think they are now?
