You know Reagan Man, if what you say has any merit---if he's just doing this now because it's 2 weeks before the election---I don't really mind.
It's an improvement, it's progress in the right direction, and it might elicit a few extra votes for the Republicans.
It also suggests the President continues to give a damn about the base.
So where's the problem?
I don't care WHY he signed it. It's THAT he signed it that I'm grateful for.
Baby steps...grasshopper.
