Do you think there's any chance Obama will sign the bill this weekend?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I'd like to see that!

:fistbump:

[FrenchieCat]

1. I would think that they might want to post it on their site for public perusal.....

as promised prior to signing it. Politifacts will bitch otherwise! :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Oh, yes...

I'd forgotten that little wrinkle!

We don't want any bitching, now do we? :eyes:

:hi:

[FrenchieCat]

8. And you know they would!

I'm happy about this though....and yes, I would want it signed ASAP....normally.


:hi:

[NYC_SKP]

16. Oh, ya know we're gonna have just a little of that either way.

But best to minny-mize it, no?

:hi:

7. This is Emergency Legislation. That's for non-emergency legislation

[FrenchieCat]

10. Oh yes, that's right!

Kewl! :)

2. Dunno;

He's in Chicago.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. You'd think I'd remember some of this stuff!

Of course...

He needs a break!

:hi:

[elleng]

13. Its a chance for the girls/whole family

to go back home for a few, and I'm sure he'd like to sign in the WH with the usual signing ceremony for important legislation.

3. TPM says Monday

[FrenchieCat]

5. Yep! President's day.

:patriot:

18. BRILLIANT timing! Subliminally, it helps frame Obama as the modern-day equivalent

of Washington or Lincoln, acting confidently to lead America out of a historic crisis.

The PR possibilities are stunning!

Among those who will be going to the polls again in 2010, this historically quick delivery on Obama's main campaign promise will provide the sharpest of contrasts between Democratic and Republican leadership.

20. The Timing in reference to so much has been quite amazing,

in reference to this President.

the 45th anniversary of MLK's "I have a Dream" Speech was the day Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Nomination in Denver.

Pres. Obama's Inauguration was the day after MLK's Birthday.

Lincoln's Birthday was simply right on time; right before the Stimulus Vote!

President Obama will sign the bill that contains so many Democratic party policies on President's day.

9. TPM?

I'm not familiar with this...

But yes, Monday seems right...

President's Day!

14. Thanks for all those links!

[The Brethren]

17. You're welcome.

:-) And thank you for noticing.

I'm deliberately adding them to all my posts in any forum in hopes that folks will get a chance to read the bills as they were written, along with the details on the amounts projected to be given to whichever recipients ends up with them. I'm sure it will boring stuff for many people. But I believe it's important for everyone to read the bills for themselves and make their own minds up about it.

Btw, LOL, good luck reading them all. They're giant size bills!!! I'm still reading them. *chuckle*

BTW, I thought you should have a heart...

So, now you do...

21. A keen eye and a sharp mind

helps make the world a far better place for all....or at least it'll help you see flying political debris before it hits you. LOL

And thank you for the heart!! Happy Valentine's Day. Hope you have a fun time. :-)
