Obama To Let Nutroots Comment For 5 Days Prior to Signing “Noncritical” Legislation; Group to Rebrand as Obama’s “Angels”
Obama’s website is starting to resemble Alice in Wonderland’s Unbirthday party.
The idea that the site would reject the sub-group never occurred to him, he said, because of Mr. Obama’s commitment to using the Internet to bring more transparency to government. “One of his key things is a five-day comment period before he signs noncritical legislation, and not all of that comment will be favorable,” he said. “It’s a test run to see what his presidency might look like.”
Mr. Stark said he was thinking beyond the FISA vote, which he concedes is all but lost. He said he planned to change the group’s name to Barack’s Better Angels, and linger at the site until the election as a meeting place for “progressives who won’t accept being pushed away from the table.”
