Late Word About Bush Signing The Secure Fence Act(or lack thereof)

We're getting word today that President Bush still has not signed the Secure Fence Act yet. The signing ceremony last week in Arizona was for the funding of the fence, but not the authorization. I hope this turns out to be nothing, but if god forbid Bush does not sign this authorization bill for the fence and it is not built....well let's just say there is going to be hell to pay. I don't know why Bush is even messing around with this issue. Sign the bill already Mr. President! It's not like we trust you on this issue. Why are you giving me more reason to doubt you? I'll close with a famous line from President Reagan..."trust, but verify". In this case, we need to verify if the Secure Fence Act has been signed and if not when. Stay tuned.

Here is the article from Mickey Kaus that started this buzz

I just spoke with a source in Congressman's Campbell's office to let him know what was happening on talk radio and the blogosphere. He is getting back to me tomorrow with an update.

It looks like the bill hasn't been formally presented to the President yet, so the ten day clock to sign a bill has not commenced. Allah Pundit at Hot Air says that that a source on the Hill has told him that "the bill has been purposefully delayed so Bush can sign it closer to the election for maximum political effect". Now that makes sense. Forgive me if I thought Bush was trying to weasel out of signing the Fence Bill.
