After the final version of the stimulus bill passed through both houses of Congress on Friday, it was announced today that President Obama will sign the bill into effect Tuesday while he is traveling through Denver. Obama had initially said that he had hoped to sign the bill before President's Day tomorrow, but he has decided to delay it until departing from Washington, where hearings on the bill have led to a fierce partisan war both on the floors of Congress and in the press. On Face the Nation today, Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “He wants to get out of Washington and show people all across America the benefits of what’s inside this economic recovery and reinvestment plan." The president is scheduled to talk about his economic agenda in Denver, the city where he accepted the Democratic nomination for president in August. Governor Paterson has said that New York expects to see at least $24.6 billion over the next two years from the bill.
