from today’s WH briefing …
Q At some point in the legislative process will the President read the entire health care bill?
MR. GIBBS: I assume the President will study the details of the proposal, and will be — he’s a highly informed individual.
Q But he won’t take time to read it front to back –
MR. GIBBS: I don’t know what his vacation plans are currently. Will you read the health care bill cover to cover?
Q Yes.
MR. GIBBS: Excellent. Well, great. I’m right up the hall to the left.
Wonderful.
Our “highly informed” president won’t even take the time to read the bill.
What are the chances that we can have at least 72 hours to review the damn thing before it is voted on?
These clowns must go.
In the meantime, go to ReadTheBill.org and show your support for H. Res. 554 which would mandate that Congress post legislation for 72 hours prior to voting on it.

What is this reading shit y’all be talkin’ ’bout? Don’t you know that being President means you get to fly everywhere in AF1 to impress the little peeps, photo ops, bigass White House parties, and hanging out with actors/rappers?
Besides, winners don’t have to read.
unless it’s off a teleprompter
Well, he wouldn’t have to read the teleprompter if he wrote his own speeches!
Oh, snap, writing is kinda like work.
