"When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what’s in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government’s doing..." - Candidate Obama, 2008. (video)
That broken campaign promise joins a long list of Obama's broken promises. The fact is, from the Fair Pay Act, to the credit (CARD) act, to guns in national parks, to expanding S-CHIP, to the HIRE act - he's discarded this 5-day time frame for almost every bill that's ended up on his desk.
But to be fair (and we are nothing, if not fair, here at LB 1901): Why not?
A) the lap dogs and myrmidons who enthroned Obama don't care and aren't paying attention.
2) What good is wait period for legislation that's already passed through debate in both houses of Congress and awaits the President's signature? The man said it himself: "I won."
