I keep hearing that the media says Bush will sign this. But I believe that this applies to what Bush said last year and under certain conditions. The media has been putting words in the President's mouth since January 21, 2001 and never believe a news report about the President until you hear it from Ari Fleischer or Bush, himself.

The President said TODAY, that he would sign the reforms passed today into law.

From: whitehouse.gov

Like many Republicans and Democrats in the Congress, I support common-sense reforms to end abuses in our campaign finance system. The reforms passed today, while flawed in some areas, still improve the current system overall, and I will sign them into law.

The legislation makes some important progress on the timeliness of disclosure, individual contribution limits, and banning soft money from corporations and labor unions, but it does present some legitimate constitutional questions. I continue to believe the best reform is full and timely disclosure of campaign contributions.

Now, Congressman BillyBob, was that or was that not the "right thing" to say? I sure don't like the sound of "will sign ... into law".
