Question for Libs,Cons,Indys,Gypsys,Tramps n Thieves?

Lets take a short trip back in time. When all this 'great' economic news first started coming out and we saw our elected officials and others coming out of 'meetings' with all of the blood drained from their faces and looking like they just saw their own ghost..what [exactly] do you think these people were told? Have we been told the full story by 'any' of them? Does anyone have a link to a video of these people when they came out of those meetings? I saw a democrat on CSPAN the other day and he let on a little but you could tell he was very hesitant to spill the beans. Also..If some of the repubs were in those meetings and now they are 'not going along' then what does that mean. Don't give that baloney that they're mean and evil and want to destroy our country. We have some questionable people on the hill but we have some Patriots as well. Please be as specific as possible because frankly it's been difficult to sort out fact from fiction. Thanks in advance.
