Why all the Obama hatred?

I have to admit, for a guy who promised transparency, and that the entire healthcare debate would be bipartisan, and televised, the move to do virtually all of it behind closed doors, with payoffs to buy votes, and every effort to ram it through with as little discussion (and no time for any lawmaker to possibly have read the bill) pissed me off beyond any possible reconciliation.

If he does something I agree with I will happily give him props on it. But in general, the current congress/executive combo is despicable, IMO, for no other reason than ramming stuff through.

If they had decent rules like "one idea, one bill" combined with a requirement of X days debate (on the record) per page of bill, we'd all be better off.
