Here’s a ringing speech President Obama made back when he was still just candidate Obama (hat tip: American Digest):
Promises, shmomises.
Although come to think of it, the stimulus bill will have been posted for about five days before Obama signs it on Tuesday. The only problem is—what good does that do us when it’s already been passed?
Actually, that’s not the only problem. Another one is that the argument for the lack of transparency in the bill was the extreme haste with which it had to be passed. Then we learned that although it was rushed through on Friday, Obama won’t be signing it till Tuesday. One of the reasons seems to be that he had to fly to Chicago for a Valentine weekend.
Oh, and the gazillion-dollar stimulus bill won’t really help the ecnomony all that much, or all that quickly. But of course it had to be voted on with such extreme haste that even a couple of days’ wait would have been a couple of days too much.
Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely

All those folks who thought they were voting for change?
Gullible.
