It's a fun argument to make, and more power to you for making it, but let's not pretend that since Obama has taken office all of sudden politicians on either side of the aisle have stopped reading their bills...10 pages or 2,000 pages long.

This is remarkable. The highest ranking legal advisor to the president comments on a law he has not read!. It is this administrations "mode of operation" - criticize first, read later.
This guy is the attorney general? Does anyone know what the attorney general does?
The highest ranking legal advisor to the president and comments on a law he has not read.
How incompetent can this be? The law is only a couple of pages long but he just can't be bothered. This is what this he does for a living. Just read the damn bill.
However time and time again in this adminstration, remarks are made without knowing the whole story in order to further an agenda. No more beer sumits and no more critisims on false accusations. This stuff needs to end now. Just the truth and only the truth.
Yes, bills have been brought to a vote before even being read, which was obvious in the health care bill. 2000 pages and a couple of hours to read it, or "we'll have to pass it before we know what is in it".
Yes there is decadence on both sides. We are closer every day to being Greece while adding more entitlements and growing government. The dems hold the majority, in the house, the senate and adminstation. This administration has really brought it to a head.
To be fair these aren't small bills here, these really "are" fundamental changes, as the president put it. Tarp, stimulus, bailouts, healthcare, wealth distribution, war, existing failing entitlement programs, growth of government, debt. These aren't going well and I see the wrong issues or non-issues being addressed as if there is no priority, at all!
Okay I'm off topic now but we can agree: No more charlatons; on either side. No more John McCains either. It will start in November.
Speaking of Greece. MSNBC's Brian Williams on Greece. Is he quoting Glenn Beck?
YouTube - David Letterman - Brian Williams on Wall Street's Free Fall
This is no joke folks. Those aren't anti-government protestors in the street in Greece.
