Obama Hates Rushed Legislation
Flashback: November 22, 2004. Newly elected Senator Obama (D-Ill) complains about legislation being rushed through congress:
Obama: "When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what's in them and nobody has read them...."Randi Rhodes: "14 pounds, it was ... Yeah"Obama: " "Yeah ... It gets rushed trough without any clear deliberations or debate then these kinds of things happen. And I think that this is in some ways what happened to the Patriot Act. I mean, you remember, there was no real debate about that. It was so quick after 9/11 that it was introduced that people felt very intimidated by the administration."
Good thing we don't do that anymore.
