O.K. I’m confused.. Speaker of the House said: We need to pass the health care reform bill. so that we can see whats in it. Hmmm. That new spirit of transparency is confusing. I really thought that candidate Obama said that Bill would be posted on the internet, so that we could see what was in them. I guess Pelosi wants us to have a grab bag surprise.. pass the bill and get surprised when we see what we just passed. I am excited, aren’t you? Hot Air reports:
No foolin’. It has, my friends, come to this.
You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting.
But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.
This is a nifty illustration of why Pelosi, and not The One, will play the role of boogeyman in GOP attack ads this fall. Accusing the public of being too ignorant to grasp the genius of an unpopular liberal program is what a rank-and-file lefty would do; using that alleged ignorance as a reason not to slow down on the legislation but to ram it through is the mark of an arrogant, power-hungry, sneering full-blown liberal cartoon. What she’s arguing here, put simply, is that the left has a mandate because you’re too goshdamned stupid to understand what’s going on. Well done, Madam Speaker. You’re parody-proof.
Speaking of arrogance, here’s the latest dubious jury-rigged contraption they’re designing to try to get Stupak and his pro-life bloc to vote for Reid’s bill:
Read the rest at Pelosi: We need to pass ObamaCare so that the public can find out what’s in the bill.
