But WILL he have the ballz to stand tall on his position against Pelosi to broadcast the "conference hearings" to reconcile the two versions of the bills… We shall see…. The public will be waiting….
Unfortunatly CSPAN needs Congressional approval to broadcast the hearings, we all know that Pelosi will never let that happen. How about Ried, do you think he wants any of these procedings to see the light of day? Do you really think NO_Bama wants the country to see how things are being done?
Are you sick of all this socialist bs yet? I am, have been for some time now. I am afraid we "Havent seen anything yet."
I feel Brian Lamb brought it to more people's attention that the Dems aren't
living up to their promise of "openness"…Thanks for doing that Mr. Lamb!
I don't think he can go into a conference room without the Dems allowing
him to do so…
Nancy Pelosi was dribbling all over herself trying to convince people she HAS
the most open Congress…Makes ya want to laugh your a– off if it wasn't so
pathetic like the rest of those Dems…..
Thanks Brian, it's not like we didn't know Obama lied when he promised, expressly, that he would have cameras in the room and we would know who was working for the people and who for special interests..
But thanks you for calling them all on it.
Looks like they don't want us to know how the sausage that is healthcare reform is made…Who could stomach that?
Dodd is retiring!! Bittersweet because he didn't take nearly enough heat for the Subprime meltdown. I wonder how Barney is faring in the polls?
THE LIAR IN CHIEF, DINGY HARRY, AND QUEEN PELOSI WILL NEVER LET THE CSPAN CAMERAS INTO THE PROCEEDINGS! YOU CAN'T BROADCAST DECEITFUL-CORRUPT-SELFSERVING-HYPOCRITES-BRIBE MAKING CLOWNS AT WORK! IT WOULD JUST BE TOO OBVIOUS AND PEOPLE WOULD NEVER VOTE democRAT AGAIN!
Pelosi's botox is only way she can keep a straight face when stating this is an "open" Congress. The only thing open about this Congress is OUR wallets as they spend OUR money
Presenting the commedy of errors and dysfunctions he has. Amazing Span is not the #1 leader in viewership.
Kudos Mr. Lamb for making a difference. We need to see the sausage being made, even if it makes us want to throw up.
I hear Dodd is NOT running for re-election … Is it still the policy that if your leave and get indited you can keep your pension ????
We need Scott Brown to win in Mass… Come on tea party people … we are making a difference !!!

turn the 60 votes into 59 !!!!!!!
Brian Lamb has shown the bright light, on the hypocrisy of the left. The left cannot withstand scrutiny, and this is further proof.
Turn 60 votes into NONE. Vote them all out.
U cant report onsomething that is being held behind closed doors in another part of the capital. It is not going to be held on the house or the senate floor. He has to ask permission to cover it b/c the dem leadership and the president have agreed to keep it OUT Of conference behind closed door and work off the senate version of the bill, so stupak and all the dems in the HOuse just lost their ammendments not to mention all the other backdoor deals to get their votes to begin with, it is a travesty of our democracy and never have I seen a president do so much to worrk around the congress than this one. pathetic
OMG i am so glad to hear someone else bring this point up! 300 Americans almost get blown up and he golfs, his friends kids gets hurt, he runs OFF the golf course GEEEEEE and for all you guys out there that say oh George Bush played golf all the time, well heres a little fact for ya, Barrak Obama has already played more golf than Prez Bush did in 8 years and Obama only been there about a year now……This guy is an embarassment, this is what you get when you vote someone in that has never had any foreign policy experience, hadnt even traveled overeseas for congress, he dosen't even know the protocol to me the damn QUEEN, LADY GAGA WORE MORE CLOTHES THAN MICHELLE OBAMA WHEN SHE MET THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND, and and she didn't smack the Queen on the back like she just slid into the endzone
Peloser, put it on C-SPAN.
Thank you Mr.Lamb.Of course,those in Washington have NO intention of televising any of this…..their lies would become way too apparent.
Ah, C-SPAN. Where else are you going to find horror, comedy, and pronography, coupled with bad costumes, even worse plastic surgery, and public intoxication…all in ONE SHOW!
That's assuming the democrats are on, of course…
NO_Bama's behavior during the "crisis" is just more proof that he does not care about this country or our fellow citizens. He holds all of us, what we believe in and this country in contempt.
Thanks Brian Lamb, but no matter how much light you shine on this Congress, they still don't scurry back under their rock. I never, in my 68 years, thought that I would talk against a member of Congress or a President so openly. What have the Political parties done to this country. Democrats are dropping like flies, because they know you can push Americans only so far and then they push back. We need to send them ALL home, bring in the cleaning crew and scrub the place clean. Then go after all the retired, corrupt politicians and send them to Prison and I don't mean the sanitized prison for white collar crimes.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. " ~ Benjamin Franklin
Here's a You Tube video combining Pelosi's laughable comment with a classic Monty Python skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TK-oAKsaHM
The fringe.. The all and powerful Republican Lindsey Graham called those who seek freedom in his party , “fringe”, I think I have heard those words before from some democrats. Too bad he was just re-elected by 58% of the vote.. Too bad the republican party is full of grahams and they have all the power and money..
Even though I battle republicans here it is to show them the light that the party doesn’t want your answers. Show all the grahams across this country that freedom and your vote comes with a price.
Register unaffiliated and fight back for they will not listen until they are forced.
They can’t win without party members and as long as you stay a republican they will always call you fringe and laugh. and win.
Their blatant hubris in concealing what they're actually doing to us tells me the democrats' leadership is counting on SCOTUS to endorse whatever they're doing in that smoke-filled room when the Constitutional challenges emerge.
This is not how our Republic is supposed to be governed. "Democracy for me, but not for thee" characterizes the majority's behavior throughout this Congress.
Give 'em hell, Brian. We'll join in and give 'em hell come November.
Posturing for ratings or a real attempt at exposing the facts? Since Lamb knows his request isn't going to be granted, I vote for posturing. But, of course, that isn't the problem, is it? No soup for you! – NEXT!
How twisted is this?
San Fran Nan's constituents are allowed the "openness" to expose themselves in disgusting and obscene ways in their Castro street fairs, all in the name of the First Amendment.
When it comes to letting us in on decisions that are vital to our future health care, she refuses to allow us even a tiny fraction of the "openness" she apparently endorses in her home town.
It's time to climb the country back out of this rabbit hole, fellow citizens. Be sure to register, encourage like-minded friends to register, and be sure to vote these princesses and princes out of office in favor of candidates who understand the limits of their Constitutional powers.
Hopefully there will be charges filed against this criminal when he gets home!!
The way of the government party members. ATTACK the messenger not the message.
I will remind the party warriors/stalkers.
Even the truth from a uneducated serf like myself is still the truth. DEAL WITH IT.
The republican party/democratic party is their party not yours. Their actions speak louder than their lies.
These are government parties and as long as you belong to a party they can attack you , because party is the problem.
The republican coup in 912 and the tea party movement has mortally wounded that movement for it is now part of party politics..
THE no party, the destruction of the parties is a weapon they can not stop or defend against.
Unaffiliated voter is what they fear not the republicans..
I talked to the wife and she said she is looking forward to the trip. It looks like Montana will be on the cutting edge for this project. I can see retirement community's popping up, Big Hotels, and Restaurants… Sorry, I drifted off.
If only this Country could get some patriotism and did just that.
We Fringe, will be sending a very loud message, from now own and far into the future. No more RINO's, no more Republican lite. It's going to be scary all the way up to November of this year, then it really gets going.
Lamb must have had a conversion. He had no trouble doing Clinton's bidding — why not Obama's. Could it be he's a racist? s/off
Considering the usual Cspan attitude, I cant bring myself to quite trust this move. Something about is fishy. Nevertheless, its the sizzle not the steak. If anyone else in the MSM can bring themselves to print the request then the jig is up, but I'll wait for Diane, Katie , or Rachel to mention it with a tang of pique. We've got to sing alot louder for people outside the church to hear. The choir is covered,the pews are empty, and the preachers are suspect among the hoi polloi.
More people like Brian need to start calling out Obama and his administration for the sheer "ugliness" on so many levels that it is.
Will Brian Lamb now receive critical treatment from the libtards — as he stood up to the oBOWma? Will FCC start 'investigating' C-Span? This will be interesting.
Thank you Mr Lamb, for doing what the Main Stream Media neglects to do –ask common sense qestions based on facts.
Thank you, Mr. Lamb. We do appreciate the effort. It continues to shine light on this congress's shameful acts.
To the republicans who think they will save the day go to democrat site and spread your words.. Here you are among friends there you are among foes. I post on any site to spread freedom do you?

Ever since Rasmussen got publicly skewered by the left for his polls, I see Obongo's ratings are slowly creeping up. Can't believe anything anymore. I wish I could hibernate until 2012 because it might be better for my health.
Hopefully they see visions of "GALLOWS" in thier future………
Are these closed sessions legal? Cannot the media demand access?
And thank you, Brian Lamb.
I take it you don't speak English.
Keep pounding on the door until they let you in (or buy you off to go away).
I tried that on Huffpo and got banned. They don't appreciate the truth though.
You're right abou the political parties. They are both crooked to the bone.
I dumped the GOP to become an independent when TARP went through.
It was a follow up on a threat i made to both my senators if they signed that POS legislation.
They did and I sent them each half of my voter ID card.
Support Scott Brown in Massachusetts! Election Jan. 19!
ATTACK the messenger not the message
you learned well my republican hack
please spread your wisdom among thes pages
You will be fun.. but you will run..
typical of a republican Hack
i to was banned..
my time here is coming to close
when to many posts need approval
your time is coming to an end.
job well do Mr. Lamb. the station where history is made. not the station where news is made.
Dodds outlived his usefulness and became a liability to the libs so he has to go. I wish he was going in chains but at least he is going.
I post frequently and at times they need to approve some. That's okay. When I throw acid I would rather Big G take measures to protect the integrity of the site.
Sweet Pub. After seeing BO spew "it will be on CSPAN" I was wondering who is the man behind the broadcast.
And now I know. Mr. Lamb. If the only thing you did in life was to get the health bill debate on air then I would consider you nothing short of an American Hero. Excuse me. A USA Hero.

i keep my post clean.
I have been down this road before, and there are more sites to roam.
I too get that, but I am figuring out what words not to use. I had trouble with monkey the other day. Someone must have been slightly touchy about someone's big assed ears…
I so look forward to the day when they march Obama out of the oval office in hand-cuffs! Justice served.
Watch this video but substitute Obama asking you if you'd like TRANSPARENCY instead of a pony:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qb0vquRcys
THAT'S what Obama's about…
Just to be a fly on the wall in that conference hearing room……………………
I loved how Andrew Breitbart called out President Ben Dover on Hannity last night for rushing home from the golf course (while vacationing)when his playing partner's kid cut his chin in a surfboard accident.
But, when upon hearing the news that a terrorist panty-bomber tried to bring down a civilian airliner over Detroit……………………he went golfing.
Thank you Brian Lamb!
Senator Dodd would look 'dashing' in an ORANGE jump suit as he leaves his Washington, D.C. office on his way to retirement. The behavior he's been involved in throughout his career borders on 'criminal'. Perhaps he'll hang out with Whitey Bulger somewhere in Ireland!
This healthcare bill is 100% shove it up America's ass PORK! We will not see one second of transparency from the demonrats on this bill or any other bill while Obumble is president.
Lew – I resemble that remark :~} — but I'm underarock because it's been crazy for a couple decades to want our Constitution to have integrity.
I hear there's and empty prison in Montana that will hold about 600 traitors. We can confiscate retirement benefits to pay the costs. Provide to the public the excersize schedules for each of the traitors. Build overlooks near the outside grounds and install microphones and audio systems so that tourists can heckle their state's criminals. The crowds would be so constant that residual businesses would pop up and flourish. Montana's economy would benefit in many ways, and future office holders will have a constant reminder that – WE HOLD THE OATHS OF OFFICE BINDING, AND MEAN IT.
Brian Lamb fundamentally changed journalism in his own time, and in his own right, he was, and is a visionary and has done so with a quiet dignity.
He needs to stand tall now, and hold Barrack Hussein Obama accountable, and make him responsible for his campaign pledges and promises, for after all, Obama espoused C-Span, using them to give him credability. Time to stand up Mr. Obama…………
Dood in a jumpsuit?
I'd feel better if his head was hanging on a pike and his carcass was drawn and quartered and hung from the Capital Dome.
Lamb deserves the thanks of a grateful nation, even if nothing much will come of his efforts.

TREASURY SECRETARY, goes the rumor.
No kidding.
http://thehayride.com/2010/01/oh-my-god/
Sooner or Later more and more Americans will realize that this administration hurts America on a daily basis. Kudos to Mr Lamb and CSPAN to shed light
I guess using the word "accountability" is becoming a bad word.
nceeno..you are good company. be safe
Brian Lamb too, is somebody I can trust! Thank you, sir! However, Truth is not part of "THIS WORLD" and it tends to get left out of everything! I seriously doubt that Mr. Lamb will win against the "EVIL POWERS" of THIS WORLD!
Nonetheless, I'm with you Brian Lamb!!! "Get-R-Done"!
As usual, "thebarbarian" also is Right-The-Mark!
We hear you! Too bad the "POWERS-TO-BE will NOT LISTEN!
they are listening slowly but surely..
Mr. Lamb, your courage is amazing.( Especially knowing the political climate in D.C.)
Watch out for limiting regulations and limited funding from this Congress and W.H. against C-Span.
Thank you for your fearless strength of character, a great example to all public servants throughout our nation.
Brian Lamb gets my vote for Man of The Year. He said in his humble way what all of us could not get Democratic Party to hear. The Administration and the dems are obsessed with ruining this country and like most of the obsessed they will be stopped only when someone is brave enough to question their over blown egos like a hot air balloon.
