That's pretty crazy :) Good job Jake. Your questions remind me of James Earl Jones in the movie Conan, when he has that bow and snake arrow and says "seeeek" when he releases the arrow.

This is the same thinking behind Obama's earmarks transparency. “The reason we’re not actively talking about that today is because that outcry, without a regulation, killed the retreat, that by doing — by having that accountability and that transparency, by putting those expenditures up on a website, for the news media and for the American public to see, I think, will have a great impact on the behavior of many in business.”

It's far better to have the American people monitor the allocation and spending online, rather than the feds. I don't blame him for avoiding the bait on Bubba Cooper's claims; no one, no matter their profession, wants to be dragged into the middle of a conflict based on the unsubstantiated.

That's just crazy talk. Give me more big government and regulations! “You don’t need a regulation to have that transparency and accountability put pressure on the actions of companies and executives that change their actions.”
