"No one wants to tell the speaker (Nancy Pelosi) that she's moving too fast and they damn sure don't want to tell the president," Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., a key committee chairman, told a fellow lawmaker as the two walked into a closed-door meeting Tuesday.

In the Senate, a small, bipartisan group of lawmakers on the Senate Finance Committee met behind closed doors, pursuing an elusive agreement. The negotiations, led by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., have taken on new urgency.

Maybe the title of this thread should be: "Our representatives are scared of our President?"

What the heck is going on that the people that are sent to Washington DC to represent "We The People", cannot simply go up to Pelosi, and say: "Stop".

What is there to be afraid of? Why do they not want to tell the president? Is not Congress an equal branch of Government?

Is this not a Government Of, By, and For the people?

What is up with all of these 'Closed Door Meetings"? Why the secrecy? Do we need an 'Audit The Meetings' bill?

Why do they need to slow down?

If you believe healthcare is key for the people, you would want to get it out asap. Like us pushing for HR 1207- of course we dont want our momentum to slow down and let the Federal Reserve continue to abuse its status.

BTW: Baucus has gotten huge amounts of financing from the healthcare industry, and his staffers often go there when they're done with him...not a conflict of interest at all .... ;)
