Yesterday marked the beginning of a new era in American politics. An era that is already marred by the stench of hypocrisy. It all started with a conference call. On one end: President Obama. On the other: over 1,000 religious leaders from across the country.

On June 24th, ABC will air a special of its own from the White House, detailing the Obama health care plan.
