(CNSNews.com) – White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs, who has avoided answering questions on whether health care negotiations should be broadcast on C-SPAN, declined to say yesterday whether President Barack Obama would advocate posting the final negotiated bill on the Internet for 72 hours before it is voted on by the House and Senate.
“I don’t know the exact answer to 72,” Gibbs told CNSNews.com on Wednesday. “I know that there have … I think health care has been the most covered story by the news media in 2009.”
Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate have complained that the process has not been transparent enough and have tried unsuccessfully to force the health care legislation to be on the Internet for at least 72 hours.
CNSNews.com followed up with Gibbs by asking specifically whether the public should have a chance to review the precise language of the bill before the vote.
“I think you all have had--we have had plenty of discussion on health care,” Gibbs said. “What has gone through the process at this point is no surprise to anyone. This is not a process that’s going to happen in 20 minutes in terms of getting an agreement and voting on it. I’m sure people will have an opportunity to see what is in the legislation.”

None of this should really surprise anyone.
The American people are such sheep they'll eat up continued tyranny and won't fight back. Just plain sad.
