Now that the Democrats have lost Ted Kennedy's seat and vote in the Senate, they will need to figure out how to ram the HealthCare Bill down our throats using even more secret meetings and backroom deals.

When I was young boy in the 1950s we used to play a game, "Would you eat dog poop for a million dollars?" The idea was to vary the subject until we could find something that we would not do for a million dollars. Nothing illegal though, we wouldn't ask, "Would you kill your mother for a million dollars?" On the other hand, things like licking a horse's butt, going down on your grandmother, slurping a hobo's puke off the street, etc, were all legitimate queries.

Some of my readers may recall the movie How to Eat Fried Worms, where eleven-year-old Billy goes up against the school bully in a challenge to eat 10 worms in one day!

Even though we did not have the million dollars to dare anyone to actually attempt any of the stomach-turning suggestions, it was surprising how many of my friends said they would not eat dog poop for any amount of money. Recalling this, it made me wonder: if the Health Care Bill is such a good thing, why would Obama need to bribe others with billions of dollars to pass it? How horrible can it be?

Considering that some group was paid off in the tens of billions, Obamacare must be a thousand times more disgusting than eating dog poop.

Considering that discussions of Obamacare are held behind closed doors and the details kept from the public, it might be more filthy and abominable than anything my young friends could have imagined back in 1952.

Of course, we were promised the end of backroom politics, that there would be transparency in Obama's administration.

CNN's Jack Cafferty recalls that promise as well.

Cafferty File, Unions invited into secret health care negotiations

President Obama said over and over during the campaign that cameras would be allowed to cover the health care negotiations. He lied. No cameras permitted at the secret talks to reconcile the Senate and House versions of health care reform. And for good reason.

The White House and Congressional Democrats have cut a deal with union leaders to limit the reach of a tax on high-end health insurance plans. Health plans covered by union contracts will be exempt from the 40-percent tax until 2018... $60 billion worth of exempt.

Taxing so-called "Cadillac" plans was supposed to be one of the ways to pay for this massive overhaul - but under this deal, taxes will only raise $90 billion instead of the expected $150 billion over 10 years.

Union leaders were at the negotiating table for three days... while of course cameras weren't.


Here's Cafferty's rebuke on YouTube .

From the video:

"What a far cry from the election, when then-candidate Obama pledged to- quote, ‘broadcast health care negotiations on C-SPAN, so that the American people can see what the choices are,’ unquote. President Obama hasn’t even made a token effort to keep his campaign promises of more openness and transparency in government. It was all just another lie that was told in order to get elected."
