The audacity of importance....

It's official. The President has signed the Porkulus bill, aka the Generational Theft Act of 2009. Passed on Friday, the President signed it today in Denver.
And so, in one single maneuver, to complete his first month in office, President Obama added nearly as much to the deficit as Bush did during his whole Presidency.
Does it seem odd to anyone but me that while this was so important that it couldn't wait for the Congress to read it, it wasn't so important that President Obama had to interrupt his long weekend to put his signature on it?
You would think that if this was so important and that the future of the country depended on it passing without delay, that the President would be standing outside the doors of congress with his pen in his hand. Of course, it was Friday and he had date night with his wife.
Michelle Malkin has an excellent story with pictures about a group who held a protest and pig roast in Denver for the signing. Check it out.
