Why did we not hear about it sooner?
« on: March 21, 2010, 05:32:38 PM »
Ok so maybe I missed it but I hadnt heard anything about the problems with the executive order done by obama until today when it was announced.

It was discussed as a possibility so why had we not heard about the potential problems with it then? This could have killed this option and forced them to either ammend the language or lose votes.

More smoke and mirrors and inaction from the reps... >:(

I think because it was just cut today as a last minute deal.  In the coming days as it's evaluated, we'll see...

Or maybe it was a backroom deal and has been around for awhile?   ;D

Well Ive been hearing that its a possibility for a few days now...so why not let the info out then and preemptively eliminate it as an option?

Obama could just be like Bush and issue signing statements contradicting parts of the legislation that he doesn't like

he was a President and issued signing statements that contradicted a bill he had just signed.

you don't see any potential correlation to the topic at hand?

Nothing.  What you often hear from people is the moral equivalency argument, which does nothing to address your point.

From here on in every death in the country in Obama's fault, every problem in medical care, every long wait line, every lay off, etc.
