When the Jamie Duprees of this world raise enough hell to be able to read such bills beforehand, well, the sea will dry up first.<br> <br> Few in Congress if any read this bill. That is the fault of the press. Mr. Dupree knows damn well that a PR assault on the Obama White House and the Pelosi-Reid Congress similar to the Mark Sanford/Mark Foley/Bush Guard Memo?Dubai Ports feeding frenzies would force our leaders to think twice. <br> <br> He knows damn well that if he and his colleagues were hitting the White House and Congress every day with scandal coverage of Rangel, Visclosky, Moran, Murtha, and Jefferson our elected officials would think twice.<br> <br> He knows damn well that if President Obama were to open the Washington Post or the New York Times, or turn on a broadcast network's morning or evening show, and see that a terrorist who had killed captured US soldiers had been released, that our elected officials would think twice.<br> <br> He knows damn well if the press pounded Congress for voting on b ills they haven't read and pounded the Obama Administration for breaking numerous campaign promises that our elected leaders would think twice before proceeding with bad legislation.<br> <br> But he thinks that he is doing his job by reporting after the fact. He is not. The contents of such bills should be posted online first, per an Obama promise. The press could exact a penalty for the breaking of this promise. They do not and will not.
