Change Scam

Editor, Times-Union:

Change?

President Obama promised the most open, transparent administration in history. He pledged to not sign bills that hadn't been posted online for the public to read for at least five days before the final vote was cast.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised that the final version of the scam (stimulus) bill would be posted online for at least 48 hours before the vote.

Here's what they did instead:

The 1,073-page scam bill, with an extra 421 page explanatory statement, was delivered, still unfinished, at midnight Thursday.

The House passed the bill 14 hours and 24 minutes later.

The Senate did likewise three hours and five minutes after the House.

If you were waiting for "change," it did not take long for Obama to "change" what he promised, for business as usual.
