There is really no program, bill or legislation to analyze yet. That isn't going to happen until he is presented with one to sign. And had there been one, it's pretty hard to ignore Obama seems place a lot more emphasis on speed than people understanding what they are signing or the content being put out for scrutiny. It would have been signed yesterday. Maybe something similar to the general drop jaw amazement that AIG bonuses were in the stimulus bill could happen.
It's crafting rules that will significantly impact millions of people and the people they love, not selling timeshares or used cars. When you consider the Dems hold an overwhelming advantage in both Houses, it's not a tactic that's really gonna inspire trust.
Politicians won't achieve trust at that level. All they can do is not hand over something as easy as this to exploit.
Whatever the actual, practical value of this move to combat misinformation, it's amazing no one pointed out how it might play.
