Speaker Pelosi Denies public Access to Health Care Public Plan Announcement
Minority Whip Eric Cantor's office depicted a Republican staffer attempting to attend the press conference and being turned away by a police officer
Her comeback answer was far too quick-minded to be anything other than a staged response. She's not that bright enough to think of that one off the cuff, and she didn't show any anger. And besides, Dems always need to have a villain: the insurance companies.
She staged a protest with Code Pink about Iraq some time back. Invited them onto the stage with her. This is an old playbook with her.
The bottom line here is that if this were a good bill, she would be having every ordinary citizen with her on that stage. The bill stinks and she knows it.

House Democratic bill ceremony closed to public
House Democrats blocked the public from attending the unveiling ceremony of their health-care bill Thursday morning, allowing only pre-approved visitors whose names appeared on lists to enter the event at the West side of the Capitol.
The audience at the crowded press conference included Hill staffers, union workers, health care providers and students, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who thanked them for attending.
The West side of the Capitol - the area where President Barack Obama was inaugurated - is traditionally open to the public. But the entrances were blocked off Thursday morning by metal fences, with Capitol police officers standing next to staff members holding clipboards with lists of approved attendees.
Reporters with press badges were able to get in.
Democrats repeatedly touted the openness of the development of their health care bill, which House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer called "the most deliberative, transparent and open process" he had seen in his career on Capitol Hill.
If this was invitation-only, who shouted the ‘burn in hell’ remark in the bullhorn that gave Pelousy the opening to take a shot at insurance companies??? An obvious staged outburst!!!!!
Nancy not-so-bright strikes again. Lock out Republicans so they don’t blow the cover of the union-staged outburst. Pathetic.

Wild Thing's comment........
The botox has done something to this woman’s brain.
Also I also heard a bunch of seniors were arrested at Pelosi's conference for protesting her. It was all roped off and sealed. Hard-working taxpayers not welcome.

Tomorrow is Friday. Which means we get the Pelosi-Reid-Obama dump into the news cycle. I wonder what bait 'n switch lie will emanate from this bunch of disengenous clowns.

Pelosi's assignment is to keep our attention until December when Zero will sign the Climate Treaty and we'll all become Citizens of the World.

Don't watch these videos alone. You may need your heart restarted. He's going to pay off our "climate debt." Lord Monckton explains it to us.
"At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it."
"I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement."
Read the rest of it. I wondered what Obama had to promise to get the Nobel Prize. This is probably it.

She unveiled her bill with her loyal, fall on the sword demo's, but the public was excluded ? Now why do you suppose that was, also, all Republicans were shut out of the big unveiling.
I think, she doesn't have the votes to produce it. According to the Rush, yesterday, the blue dog demo's won't go for the public option. This is all hype to try to gin up support, that doesn't exist. All show and no go.
We shall see.

Horace your right about the videos.
I posted them the other day.
I give a lot of respect to what
Lord Monckton said, he used to
be on Margaret Thatcher's
administration.
Thank you for putting the information
and links in your comment too.

Mark, thank you. It is really
something how the Republicans were
kept out of this and she pulled the
strings to keep them out of it.

Par for the course---the Botax Queen must have her way and the public be damned.
