Obama, please say you won't sign any bills that Congress hasn't had the opprortunity to read, digest and debate.
I realize you are not in charge of Congress. But you are the head of the party in power and there is a lot more you could be doing to "change Washington" like you said you were going to do. Sending this signal would make a great start.
Maybe no one in Congress is to blame. Maybe the root cause is the system itself, which drives the tactics that result in last minute, hastily written and unread bills. If it is a systemic problem, that is more of a reason for you to exert influence because by definition it wouldn't change otherwise.
So at your next press conference, please make the point you will expect more of Congress here on out.
