The fact that Fannie and Freddie (Barney and Dodd’s friends) are immune to reform is ridiculous as well.
Not thrilled about Scott Brown’s vote, but he is up for reelection in a very blue state and, regardless, his win of that seat after so many years is still a great victory for us. He won’t be there for us on every vote, given where he comes from, but he will be with us much more often than Teddy’s dem replacement would have been. Real world folks, not perfect world.
