Shocker: Democrats Talked More Than Three Time As Long As Republicans At Obama’s Health Care summit

At one point Senator Mitch McConnell actually pointed the disparity out to Obama, prompting the President to say that time wasn’t split evenly because “I’m the president.”

<<< Washington (CNN) – Thursday’s health care summit at Blair House was billed as an opportunity for members of both parties to share their proposals for reform, but one party had far more time to put forth their ideas.

A CNN analysis of the meeting shows that Democrats - including President Obama, who helmed the meeting - were granted more than twice the amount speaking time as Republicans.

Democrats spoke for a total of 135 minutes while President Obama spoke for 122 minutes, for a total of 257 minutes. Republicans, meanwhile, spoke for just 111 minutes, about 30 percent of the total speaking time. >>>

I’m not surprised, because this was never really about bipartisanship and proverbial “putting heads together.” This was political theater.

Even while the summit was still on-going, the Associated Press was already running stories quoting Harry Reid as saying that Democrats were ready to use reconciliation.

The only thing this entire fraud was good for was illustrating, once again, just how dishonest Barack Obama is.
