OH... BOY!
Senator Boehner is just a little perturbed.
America was promised at least 48 hours to preview the bill before a vote. The House and Senate received it about 11pm last evening and are being asked to vote on it this evening... let's see... how's my math... less than one day to preview... that's less than 24 hours... hummm...
AND... did you see that the big-time lobbyists were getting the bill in their hands before Congress? And... we were promised that lobbyists weren't going to have the same freedom of access to Congress as in the past?
Congressional Offices Don't Have the Stimulus Bill, Lobbyists DoUS News
February 12, 2009
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
We're receiving E-mails from Capitol Hill staffers expressing frustration that they can't get a copy of the stimulus bill agreed to last night at a price of $789 billion. What's more, staffers are complaining about who does have a copy: K Street lobbyists. E-mails one key Democratic staffer: "K Street has the bill, or chunks of it, already, and the congressional offices don't....
Now... isn't this a much more transparent and accountable administration... just like promised.
One more quick query... just who is it that writes 1,100 pages of type for something like this anyway? It is obvious that it certainly wasn't congressmen... they don't even know what is in it... at least the Republicans don't because they weren't allowed to be a part of the writing process... even though that is EXACTLY what the American people elected them to do.
Just a very sad day in American history.
Sad, sad, day.

Yes it is very sad day, a day that our kids will probably be held accountable for to pay back the "generational theft" of this stimulus bill as John McCain calls it.
And how can Obama not see that lobbyists are again running wild only three weeks after his comments? Is he already disconnected? Wake up Dude!
For some reason I think he knows exactly what is happening and knows exactly what he is doing... and doing so with purpose.
