Tired of being lied to?

I wonder how many who voted for President Obama are getting tired of the lies. I'm hopeful that there are reasonable people out there who have figured out that they fell for a line, just as they were supposed to.

The health care debate is an excellent example. During the campaign, Barack Obama said on multiple occasions that all discussions of health care (among other things) would be held in the open. I heard him say that debates would be broadcast on C-Span and/or streamed on the Net.
Transparency was an important part of his belief about how government should work.

Well, it was all pretend. Speaker Pelosi even chuckled when asked about it: Oh that was the campaign. Now all health care bill discussions are conducted in very private rooms, by only the most liberal members of the Democrat party. It is about power, control, and taxes, and they don't want people to realize what's going on.

I guess this ties in with my other blog; people are pretty gullible. It is a bit frightening.
