When the House passed their version of  Healthcare  (by a tiny squeak of a margin), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi noted the day was “historic” for that vote…and she also noted that the “Democrats took control of Congress three years to the day today”.  Which means Democrats have controlled Congress since November 7, 2006.  Wait a minute!  Didn’t she get the memo??  Democrats and the administration have been complaining that they “inherited this mess”!?  You mean she actually admitted that they MADE the mess?   You mean Obama was a Senator during that time, and voted on the issues that created this mess? The White House may not be happy to hear this news!

NCN has not had much to say since that vote, because now the Senate is working on its version of the bill….and it’s all behind closed doors so there is not much information.  What happened to the promise of transparency? 

“Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public, no more secrecy. That’s the commitment I make to you as President.” ~ President Barack Obama.  Read some great articles on the transparency promise and how it’s been broken at Pulitzer Prize-winning site Politifact.com.
