Somewhere Behind Closed Doors a Shameful Deal is Being Made
American Solutions: As candidate in 2008, President Obama promised repeatedly to have health negotiations out in the open and broadcast on C-SPAN. He even said that Americans should not "underestimate the degree to which shame is a healthy emotion and you can shame Congress into doing the right thing if people know what is going on." Despite President Obama breaking his promise, we agree with his views on shame, which is why this video points to the shame of the Pelosi-Reid Congress negotiating health care in secret. After Senate Majority Leader Reid made sure Senator Landrieu got a special $300 million deal for Louisiana and Senator Nelson got $100 million deal for Nebraska in return for their votes for health care, nobody should be surprised that Governor Schwarzenegger withdrew his support for the health care bill last week, and condemned it as a "trough of bribes". American Solutions is against bribes and corruption, which is one reason why this bill must be stopped and a different approach to health reform must be undertaken.

That is a fantastic video. I may post this in a day or two.
These backroom deals have gone so far that it difficult to continue calling them deals---they have become bribes and any other venue such things would be criminal. The reportedly bride just recently concluded behind closed doors(at the White House), is one of the worst I've heard yet. The very idea that those union members who have the "cadillac" plans would be exempt while non-union people with the same plans would have to pay a special tax is so very wrong, and perhaps illegal. This thing is looking more and more like something drawn up by a bunch of crooked Chicago politicians and not by members of Congress with the presidents blessings.
