Energy Czar Carol Browner admitted this morning in a direct interview that she had not read the entire 1200 plus pages of the bill presented to the USHR for passage on Friday. Wow... it's her bill and even she had only read "substantial," "most," and "great portions" of the document.

In the terms of the movie line, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more."

Did you think they were going to read this one?

Democrats are on a mission at all cost to get thru all of Obamas policies because they might lost majority and the chance will be gone

What the ? did that post have to do with the fact that the head of the office saying this is the most important legislation of our lifetime didn't even read what the bill said?

Partisanship at it's finest. Certainly not your best effort I have to say...
I loved watching the interview! Question: Did you read the bill? Answer: I read sections of it. Question: So you're saying you didn't read the bill? Answer: I read major parts of it. Statement: So you didn't read the whole bill... Answer: No, No, you're not going to do that to me, I read the bill. Question: Did you read the WHOLE bill? Answer: I read major parts of the bill...
In other words SHE DID NOT READ IT. God, why do they have to duck and dodge so much? Why not just say "no I did not read it all"? And then you have to ask yourself if it's her bill why didn't she read the whole thing? You'd have to be an idiot to not know that one of the first questions that would be asked would be "did you read it" right?
This is a very important bill and she's HMFIC so you'd THINK she'd really be motivated to read it and understand it

What is it about supporters of the current presidential administration who consider this to be appropriate and excusable? Where is the rest of the US media? Why aren't they simply saying, we made a mistake, now let's see if we can't help repair what we have done to America.

I do not know what is up with these people, hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars are on the line, and they do not read the bills they present, much less vote on, because they release the bills at 11:00PM for a vote at 7:00 AM, with no debates, no discussion and no other opinions allowed. Hope, change, smoke, mirrors, lies and incompetence.

Thanks for giving 0bama and the democrats full and complete control of the federal government during a crisis.

They can start by pulling 0bama's ring from their lips, and begin the procedure of keeping the American people informed of what the politicians in our government are doing, in a nonpartisan and professional manner.

If Carol Browner (left wing) didn't read it, how is it that she "even begins to understand"? Telepathy? Did she read it in a past life? Maybe she was born already knowing what was in it and therefore doesn't need to read t.

We are upset at the, not only partisanship going on, but the mass deception they are perpetrating on America.

At least let everyone read the bills first, let us openly debate them, before we are locked into trillion dollar programs or $800 billion dollar bills.

Can we at least stabilize the economy, get our employment numbers back up, before another few trillion dollars of unprinted taxpayer money is spent? Where is the problem with any of that? What is the all fired rush to pass things without reading or debating them? Don't we want the best programs and laws passed?

Disagreeing with what 0bama and the democrats are doing does not always have be viewed by the left, as coming from right-wing ignorance, rage and partisanship.
