Remember the Obama/Pelosi/Reid pledges to bring transparency and openness back to the legislative process? Where is it? Over the last several weeks there's been nothing but closed doors and secret meetings while a secluded group of Democrats wrangle over the final version of a health care reform bill. The obvious message: Republicans need not apply.
Door lock changes and closed rooms to exclude GOP participation sure don't seem like "transparency" to me. Why such a need for secrecy? What are the Dems afraid of? Are they concerned that we might get wind of yet another public option "gotcha" they've dreamed up?
Is this Obama's idea of transparency?
