You can’t always believe what you see on TV especially when it emanates from the Obama administration and the Democrat Party.
According to the New York Times, Obama had a pep talk to encourage Democrat senators to carry on passing Health Care reform for the American people.
The NY Times wrote:
“At times, the president’s appearance took on the air of a pep rally, complete with back-slapping jokes and stinging criticism of Republicans. But at other points it seemed as though the senators had been summoned to the principal’s office, with Mr. Obama delivering a stern reminder to do better, work harder and live up to their potential.”Full article Click Here
But the NY Times, the paper of record according the The Left, forgot to mention what was really occurring at the same event because according to The Hill, there was much more to meet the eye.
The Hill wrote:
“Senators did not want to press Obama on healthcare reform in front of television cameras for fear of putting him in an awkward spot.”
Those Democrats are really considerate, aren’t they?
The Hill also wrote:
“Senate Democrats held back from asking President Barack Obama about healthcare reform during a carefully scripted question-and-answer session in front of television cameras.
With the cameras rolling, a group of senators selected in advance by the Democratic leadership asked questions about such topics as partisan gridlock and GOP obstruction.”
Yeah, those pesky GOPer’s always have to throw in a monkey wrench.
The Hill continues:
“One Democratic senator even grew heated in his remarks, according to the source.
‘It wasn’t a discussion about how to get from Point A to Point B; it was a discussion about the lack of a plan to get from Point A to Point B,” said a person who attended the meeting. “Many of the members were frustrated, but one person really expressed his frustration.”Full article Click Here
I’m sure Jeff Zenely and David M. Herszenhorn of the NY Times couldn’t possibly cover everthing that was going on at this event.
They only have four legs and four eyes and there was so many senators there that they just couldn’t find all the news that was fit to print.
