As I wrote in a previous blog, like all good Bankster Puppets-in-Chief, Pres. Obamanable reneged on a campaign promise. In this case, it was to have the health care deform—er, I mean reform—debates in Congress aired openly to the public on C-Span. The White House has now made it public that Pres. “Transparency” will not discuss the issue.

WHITE HOUSE: WE WILL NOT DISCUSS BROKEN C-SPAN PROMISE

On Tuesday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs declined to answer questions about the president’s campaign commitment to hold health-care negotiations on C-Span. Gibbs said he had not seen a letter from C-Span’s Brian Lamb to congressional leaders requesting the coverage and thus could not comment on it.

On Wednesday, Gibbs was asked again about the C-Span commitment. The story had gotten pretty big in the intervening time, and presumably Gibbs had had a chance to familiarize himself with it. So reporters tried for a second day to get him to comment on the president’s commitment to holding televised health-care talks. Gibbs’ answer? “We covered this yesterday.” Gibbs referred reporters to the transcript of Tuesday’s briefing and said, “The answer I would give today is similar.”

But of course, he hadn’t answered the question at all.
