    Most of them delegate a lot of it to staff. Can you imagine reading every bill yourself? You wouldn't be able to do much else.

    You know, I bet they don't read all the letters sent to them either.

    I've always hated that about jobs.

    Even Obama himself doesn't give a second to reading these bills, knowing that the bills are just piles of quotes from those writings that already exist. Probably the bills were simply complemented by computers.

    But they do read the letters sent to em, especially those containing the harsh and well-deserved criticisms against the government.

    Hope and Change while campaigning. Business as usual once elected.

    Obama wanted to be president. He needs to step up and do his job. People didn't elect him to blame Bush for everything, go on the Tonight Show and make fun of re ed people, have a beer with a cop and black dude, etc... They elected him to be the president of America. Get busy reading those in bills, Barry.

    So you are proud of your ignorance.

    That's expected.

    And fail.

    If you are going to be ting yourself about this for the next month, you should probably be able to explain why.

    You really think it's the President's job to read every bill before Congress? I'd bet even money you haven't read 1000 pages of anything in your life.

    I wish just one time we'd get a ing president who had both the desire and the balls to stand up to Congress and tell them he'd veto every 1,000+ page piece of obfuscated legalese and the tacked on bribes used to get the votes to pass it. Having never lived in any other nation, I gotta ask the international posters if this is how government is everywhere. Sometimes I wonder if the horrible state of service our government provides us is a result of ty regulation or just straight corruption. Should we tighten the rules or hang the rulers?

    My dictionary has more than 1,000 pages and I usually browse it from cover to cover, but I'm still pretty sure there are some pages I haven't visited yet. Some of the Obama 1,000 pages, probably, are just the mechanical quotes of bible or his previous speeches. Anyway the printer never feels tired of these tedious writings.

    Don't expect any government to be desirable until you find a piece of that smells sweet.

    Chumpdumper, are you Obama's ? Seriously, if anyone says anything negative or bad about the guy, you're the first person to defend him. What's up with that? How much money are you willing to place on your bet?

    We elect representatives to represent us. We tell them our desires and they try to make sure it happens. If they don't know what they're voting on they're not doing their job. But its THEIR job.

    Obama doesn't have to read you ungrateful Americans.

    That's why he's got responsible people working along side him like Mrs. Nancy Pelosi and others. No worries.
