Since there's not a politics section, I figured I'd drop this in here.




If a mod can embed this properly, I'd be very grateful.

BARACK OBAMA: …When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what’s in them and nobody has read them.

RANDI RHODES: 14 pounds it was!

BARACK OBAMA: Yeah. And it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation or debate then these kinds of things happen. And I think that this is in some ways what happened to the Patriot Act. I mean you remember that there was no real debate about that. It was so quick after 9/11 that it was introduced that people felt very intimidated by the administration.

PolitiFact | Allow five days of public comment before signing bills - Obama promise No. 234:

I tried to find a list of laws he has signed, to try and find ONE that he has posted and waited five days to sign, but no luck. There is no list of bills signed into law. So much for transparency.

No - I just picked up the embed string and replaced yours.

Your last three looked to be embed codes but the format was odd - where did you pick the codes up from?

Back in April, President Obama gave his cabinet (the storefront one, not his czars) a deadline of 90 days to find $100 billion - oops I'm sorry, that's million - to cut from the budget. Well they busted the deadline (you know how hard it is to trim fat when everything's soooo efficient) but they came up with a list that will save $102 million in fiscal year 2009 (Oct 1 '09 - 30 Sep '10).

That's a whopping 0.006% of the overall budget!

Of course, Congress is busy finding ways to spend this new windfall, but nevermind about that.

Here's the list. Maybe you can find ideas you can use to trim your own budget, such as buying your vehicles the preferred color instead of repainting them upon delivery. That one really resonates with me.

"The biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that's what I intend to reverse when I'm president of the United States." -- Sen. Barack Obama, March 31, 2008
