“Too often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them,” the Obama-Biden campaign website states. “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.”
I don't recall being allowed the opportunity to look over the Stimulus Bill before it was passed by the House, do you? And it doesn't look like "We the People" will have 5 days to look at the bill before it's signed into law. In fact there has been a full court press going on to keep any and all information about it's content to a minimum until it was safely passed. While waiting on the "signed, sealed and delivered" to get to his desk, Obama has been schmoozing it up, campaigning for the merits of this bill. But apparently his trip to the Caterpillar Co. in Peoria the other day didn't have the intended outcome. Take a look:
OOPS!! Aparently Obama is much more comfortable in glossing over the truth with reporters than is the CEO of Caterpillar, who is interviewed after Obama's speach. He went on to say, "There's only $46 billion in heavy construction in this thing, that's not going to help us at all."
Another interesting aside to this story...Obama was speaking to 1,400 workers. He was smiling and and making hopeful noises and then he mentions that the local congressman from Peoria would be hanging around the plant to talk with anyone there who wanted to lobby for this wonderful stimulus plan. ~ Not one person spoke to him.
