Another Obama Promise Ready to Expire?

It's on life support and the prognosis is grim.

Congressional leaders, however, reportedly are expected to bypass the traditional conference committee process, in which lawmakers from both parties and chambers meet to reconcile differences between the House and Senate versions of a bill. Instead, The Associated Press reports that top Democrats at the House, Senate and White House will figure out the final product in three-way talks before sending it back to both chambers for a final vote.
The story notes the original campaign promise, made on January 31, 2008:
This format would seem ideal for closed-door meetings, which congressional Democrats have used many times to figure out sensitive provisions in the health care bill -- though President Obama pledged during the campaign to open up health care talks to C-SPAN's cameras.

"That's what I will do in bringing all parties together, not negotiating behind closed doors, but bringing all parties together, and broadcasting those negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are,"

You know, I'm beginning to get the feeling that Obama was a little less than truthful while campaigning for the presidency, but that's probably just a case of thinking in the language of "Tea Bag."

An old, but still relevant, photoshop below the jump.
