Less than 48 hours after Democrats in the House of Representatives passed their government-run health care bill, President Obama this morning signed it into law.
In doing so, the president violated yet another promise he made to the American people. In fact, the “ethics” page of Obama’s “Organizing for America” website still reads:
Sunlight Before Signing: Too often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them. As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.” [emphasis added]
Then again, the president has reneged on that specific promise on at least 32 occasions prior to today. At this point, why even bother counting?
