Seen moments ago on Lou Dobbs Tonight:
Barack Obama on the Bailout: "If I am President, I will review the entire plan on the day I take office to make sure it is working to save our economy and that you get your money back."
Back on September 22, 2008, Senator Obama renewed a pledge to, once elected, "go through the entire federal budget, page by page, line by line" and "eliminate the programs that don't work and aren't needed."
Unfortunately, he didn't pledge to review either document PRIOR to the election. We have to elect him first, then he'll read them and let us know what he thinks. Until then, we just have to trust him.
I was thinking, since he has some time before his inauguration, perhaps he should get going on a Book It application - I mean, if he's going to do so much reading, he might as well get a free Pizza Hut pizza out of it...

I just reread this post, and wanted to clarify. I don't think reading the budget or even the bailout legislation should be some kind of prerequisite to becoming President.
I'm just saying that if you're going to pledge to read them, why not put your money where your mouth is: read them and share your thoughts with the public BEFORE we elect you.
I was going to say, "be fair, mccain hasn't read it yet either."
