Hey, I'm with you, except for the part about voters loving him for it. Independents won't even notice, and conservatives will just find a way to attack him for it. Those were government employees! That's socialism!
Die-hard republicans won't be convinced no matter what. There's not really much point in trying with them (the same can be said of die-hard democrats). However, I think this will convince some voters that he is really the "transparency president." Given how little work it takes, I think the cost/benefit analysis comes down clearly on the side of posting online.
That is, until you consider that some people will comb through this stuff. All they need to do is fine some horrible sounding clause mid-way through a bill and take it out of context to bash the President. Maybe this is what they are afraid of.
Or, maybe, as someone else said, he is just breading his promise.
