GOOD!
The Obama political team tried to gin up support for his budget by asking volunteers to go door-to-door. I thought this was a bad idea because none of the volunteers would know what's in the budget. The summary alone is 27 pages and the full budget is 142 pages. It would take some time to digest and acquire enough background information to intelligently discuss the budget.
