The new transparency seems to be the old way of doing things... please vote for this 1k+ pages without reading..... who is the idiot that wrote this? And who are the idiots that blindly voted for something they didn't even read... would you sign a contract you don't read? This one is for over 780 billion...

Hmmm. Lack of transparency before it's posted, and then lack of transparency afterward as well. Maybe some should enroll in speed-reading classes. It would help the economy if nothing else...

keep the illegals and deport the republicans? you can't fix mexico so you come here. you'll destroy america then what, follow the republicans?

speed reading classes? if we do what you want we'll have to speed read in two languages. what would help the economy is getting rid of the illegals and unemployment overnight. it would be simple really, just jail employers of illegals for some mandatory period like six months.

He's going break this campaign promise already. This guy is a sham. And don't even call this stimulus bill an emergency.

Sunlight Before Signing: Too often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them. As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.

Republicans deceive by Omission of Facts.

Democrats deceive by Smoke & Mirrors.

Please refer us to those posts where you were complaining when Bush signed bills after the Repubs rushed them through Congress? And where was Bush's transparency? Yeah, I thought so.

We aren't talking about Bush... he had no real transparency and so far, neither does Obama which is the point of the thread... claiming to be transparent and then put over 1k pages and say here you go, please vote yes in a couple of hours.... is not very transparent.... unless you have superhuman speed reading and comprehension and memory... and neither does anyone on this planet....

Who's talking about Bush? He would have had to rush it through a Dem controlled congress anyway. Remember that farce called the patriot act? Bush was a sham too so was Clinton and so was Bush Sr. What's your point?
