Do You Think Obama Will Really Televise His Healthcare Negotiations On C-Span?

This was an idea I really loved, and i'm wondering if it's realistic to think he'll actually go forward with this. It would be amazing and unprecedented if it happened, but I do have my doubts.

It would be so fascinating to watch something like this and it would make government a lot more transparent, but even if Obama really wanted to do it, there are a lot of people that would discourage him from making it happen.

What do ya'll think? Think we'd actually see this happen if Obama was 44?

Sen. Edward Kennedy will play in this - I understand that his office is already working on a bill that will be presented as soon as possible after the session starts?

Watch this, and understand that this man's consistency on his ideas and proposals are even stronger than the consistency in which he makes it look good!

I mean, i'm big on Obama like everybody else, but don't tell me he's some super natural being that can't break a promise made during a presidential campaign.

prior to his run know exactly that he is consistent at doing what he says he will do.

2004 OBAMA SENATE RUN -81 percent of the vote, Used Slogan, "YES WE CAN"!

Obama will be the only black senator in the next session of Congress. The 43-year-old Democrat attributed his victory to the "core decency of the American people."

"My first priority is to the people of Illinois and so my primary emphasis is going to be learning the legislative craft so that I can deliver concrete improvement to the lives of working families in the state," Obama said.

He said his priorities would include health care, the tax code and making sure the educational system has adequate resources from the government. He said he expected enormous progress.

"I've always viewed politics as a team sport - not an individual sport," Obama said.

Obama's wife, Michelle, said no one could have predicted that a "skinny guy with no money, no organization and a funny name" could win.

you may not remember anything beyond the fact that he disagreed with many of us, but he clearly made his reasons known...and in fact, repeated them, wrote about them and spoke them again and again prior to making that vote.

If you don't take into consideration the nuances in the differences between the initial FISA bill and the revised one, than Black and White is your world, and yeah....you will be disappointed with the Obama administration and various choices that it will make.

I understood the differences between the original FISA bill and the revised one, and I thought it was good that Obama voted for it. It was the right decision and the politcally smart one.

My point is that Obama clearly said that he would filibuster any attempt to pass a FISA bill with immunity, and he didn't. He gave a lot of reasons for why didn't, and a lot of those reasons made sense, but the bottom line is that he didn't follow through with what he said he would do.

So, my question was, will Obama go through with the televising of the healthcare negotiations like he said he would, or will he give a lot of sensible reasons for why he's changed his mind and won't go forward with it...like he did with FISA.

I'm not hating on him, I just wanted to know what others thought and if they saw it ever happening.

I'm wondering if Ted Kennedy might have a true universal healthcare plan in the works. Whatever it is, he's going to put it up right after the new session opens.

But it's not remotely plausible that the players in the REAL negotiations would allow it to be televised.

within 15 minutes, why not? .5%? .2%? Negotionatins like that are deadly boring unless you're there, and even then you have to drink lots of coffee.
