Which one is it, wingnuts: that the legislation passed too quickly, or that Obama is taking too long to sign it?

You guys simply can't get your stories straight, can you? No wonder why you have become completely irrelevant in national American politics.

Or, how about this libtard, on a bill of this size, there should have been more than 18 hours for lawmakers to read the bill, event the PROMISED 48 hours would not have been enough, but would have been better. Instead the American people are bombarded with the need to pass THIS bill NOW, NOW, NOW, which of course was bull shiat and while I would be perfectly happy if Obama didn't sign the bill (would still become law in 10 days), taking off for the weekend send "conflicting messages." I personally don't care that he took the family back to Chicago, I think it's cute, but next time something is "so urgent" at least try to follow through with the facade.

The promise for a few days of public discussion was an Obama thing, not a congress or lawmaker thing.

Don't blame congress for a promise that Obama made (and is seemingly keeping).

Bukkdog, get your facts straight. Congress promised 48 hours public discussion and Obama campaigned on a five day waiting period for public discussion, both promises seemingly don't count on THIS issue. As I said in my previous post, I don't have a problem with Obama taking the weekend, but if he could wait until Monday, he sure as hell could wait until Weds and live up to a promise he made.

Bulldog, please accept my apologies, The keys on my keyboard are a bit worn and I did not mean to type "Bukkdog" but I should have read over my post before clicking on submit.

Grey Cat,

Here is a link referencing the resolution passed on February 10th in the House of Reps (every Republican and Democrat voted for this resolution).

TheGrayCat: jpo2269: Congress promised 48 hours public discussion

Citation, please.

Last sentence of the fifth paragraph (new window)

Only the House of Representatives agreed to the 48 hour rule as far as I know though.

I don't dispute this, the Senate could have taken up the vote before the HOR and their little p.r. stunt could have been followed through with. Instead they drop the bill in the laps of members at around 11 pm and open the house for votes at 9 am... not cool.
