BTW, I take exception to this sentence in the above article :
“By 2014, according to an absurd and indefensible act of Congress — and this one passed in 2007, so it’s not Obama’s fault for once “
Why do we always heap praise or blame on a President ALONE when some law gets passed or rejected?
Obama was Senator in 2007. HOW DID HE VOTE ON THIS ISSUE?
If he voted YEA, then he CANNOT ESCAPE BLAME.
Of course, the more important question is this — WHY DID BUSH NOT VETO THIS STUPID AND IDIOTIC BILL WHICH WILL WILL ALL BUT GUARANTEE THAT THE FEDS WILL INTRUDE IN OUR LIVES?
Well, he signed ethanol subsidy bills too. There’s also the Patriot Act, which is a bit unConstitutional in some sections.
We’d have to go back 80 - 100 years to get back to where most FReepers would consider an acceptable Constitutional Republic.
