Thank you President Obama

[malaise]

for signing The Public Management Act.

[tridim]

1. As long as we can agree to not thank Phil Gramm.

One of the prime architects of our current economic shithole.

[malaise]

2. The only thanks I'll associate with Phil Gramm

is when I thank some judge for throwing him in jail for high crimes. :D

[shireen]

3. what's with all those pens he's using?

Is he signing the legislation several times, one signature per pen?

[Maraya1969]

6. It's for all the people who contributed to the bill. He writes his signature

in little bits and gives the pens to the.people. I think it's a nice gesture.

[shireen]

7. thats nice

but he must have to practice writing his signature a little at a time to do that! LOL!

[Maraya1969]

10. LOL he said he did that!

[Hekate]

11. It's been going on at least since President Lyndon Johnson. That's the earliest I observed...

... but it could have been a practice before then. People involved in a major bill want to be able to say they own the pen that signed it. :eyes: Well, it's a nice gesture.

4. also, how is Matthew Reeves involved?

Were Chris and Dana Reeves active in land preservation issues?

I'm feeling so dumb today ....

[malaise]

5. The Reeves Foundation is linked to stem cell research

I was on the phone but he did mention something about wheelchairs.

I'll find a link in a few minutes. :D

[AirBaud]

8. The economy is nose diving, yet he has time for this.

Stay focused please Mr President.

[cali]

9. uh, how long does this take? 15 minutes?

what a silly complaint. By that token, he shouldn't have done anything to reverse bush era regs on the environment, or stem cell research. He shouldn't have signed SCHIP or the legislation enabling women to sue for pay discrimination, and on and on.
