House Democrats blocked the public from attending the unveiling ceremony of their health-care bill Thursday morning, allowing only pre-approved visitors whose names appeared on lists to enter the event at the West side of the Capitol.
The audience at the crowded press conference included Hill staffers, union workers, health care providers and students, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who thanked them for attending.

Hard-working taxpayers not welcome.
Generational theft, indeed.

"Most transparent administration in history", we musn't forget. How could 54% of voters be so terribly stupid?

Well, that’ll teach the peasants their place, won’t it?
Like the old Marx Bros (ironny!) routine from Duck Soup:
“The peasants are revolting!”
“Yes, they certainly are...”

Wait. What?!
If this was invitation-only, who shouted the ‘burn in hell’ remark in the bullhorn that gave Pelousy the opening to take a shot at insurance companies??? Can you say staged outburst? I knew you could.
Nancy not-so-bright strikes again. Lock out Republicans so they don’t blow the cover of the union-staged outburst. Pathetic. Proof that she doesn’t have the votes.
The kibuki dance continues.

No, it’s time to send their asses home! It's time we impose a two term limit on congress. One term in office, and one term in prison.

If this was invitation-only, who shouted the ‘burn in hell’ remark in the bullhorn that gave Pelousy the opening to take a shot at insurance companies??? Can you say staged outburst? I knew you could. I think so too. Pelosi is doing exactly what they used to do in communist Russia: invite only apparatchiks to be in the audience and call them "the people."
Her comeback answer was far too quick-minded to be anything other than a staged response. She's not that bright enough to think of that one off the cuff, and she didn't show any anger. And besides, Dems always need to have a villain: the insurance companies.
She staged a protest with Code Pink about Iraq some time back. Invited them onto the stage with her. This is an old playbook with her.
The bottom line here is that if this were a good bill, she would be having every ordinary citizen with her on that stage. The bill stinks and she knows it.

If its so good - why not allow every one to see it? This bill is not going to get a single GOP vote in the House!
