You mean like when he let Ted Kennedy write his education bill? Yeah, you're right. That definitely is not a matter of conservative philosophy. |

Doesn't apply. Bush NEVER sold anything as necessary to prevent the imminent collapse of our economy. |

Well, until we know what was in that doggy bag, how are we supposed to know whether it was more important than signing the bill before the weekend?? It *might* have been more important than signing the bill. I hear they have some mighty good vittles there. (Yes, I can say vittles, because the place is supposed to serve southern food.) vittles=victuals for you high falutin' folks |

Has it been delivered for his signature yet? It's not unusual for Congress not to deliver a bill to the President until several days after it's passed. If he can sign it Tuesday in Denver, he could surely sign it Saturday or Sunday in Chicago ... if it's been delivered for his signature. |

If they weren't to deliver it to him until later it wasn't important enough to force the vote Friday night. |

I should have made clear that the period we are talking about is fairly early in his presidency. My bad. By the end of his presidency there was no collegiality at all. There won't be with Obama either, and it has come earlier. |

Do you know Congressional processes well enough to know how long it takes to prepare a bill for the President's signature? The absolute minimum, no matter what, for a bill as long as this one? I didn't think so. |

Do you? Does it take hours? Days? Weeks? And if either of the latter two, what difference does 72 hours make? |

I am in favor of spending to help future growth. But this bill is a mix of short term tax gimmicks and Dem district pork. The cost of democracy in action. |

I don't know the details, but I know that it varies with the length of the bill. And this was a looong bill. If I recall correctly, it took a few days, after Congress re-upped the Patriot Act, before it made it to Bush's desk for signature. |

How many pages long is the Declaration of Independence? How many pages long is the Constitution? How many pages long is the Emancipation Declaration? It seems that the quality of leadership is directly proportional to the amount of paperwork it takes - the lower the quality of leadership, the more paper it takes..... |

It was sure short enough to only require several hours for it to be read. Can't have it both ways. |
