May 12, 201511 yr If the left hates it that probably means I should like it but Obama supports it so I'm suspicious since I don't trust him at all.
May 12, 201511 yr Author Is this the bill where Obama claims Elizabeth Warren is wrong? Yes. Warren and anyone close to Unions are not happy at all with this.

May 14, 201511 yr Is this the bill where Obama claims Elizabeth Warren is wrong? Yep and now Sherrod Brown and NOW is claiming that Obama is a sexist for his comments saying Warren is wrong. I had to laugh at some libs calling the ultimate lib a sexist...
May 15, 201511 yr If the left hates it that probably means I should like it but Obama supports it so I'm suspicious since I don't trust him at all. Make up your mind whether you're for it or against it so that I can take the opposite view.
May 16, 201511 yr Nah, I'd much rather see how a lefty handles it when his idol goes against the party and their benefactors (puppet masters).
June 19, 201511 yr Author On try number 2 the House passed key measure that they defeated last week. Nice head fake by house Repubs. (That is not a compliment)
June 20, 201511 yr From what I am hearing, I would vote no. Essentially, the bill ties our future on multiple fronts (economic, environmental, immigration, etc) to how other countries dictate. Why give up our sovereignty?..Sid note, it was related to the EEC bill. While it may seem silly, England had to ban fox hunting, part of their culture and history, because of the items in the treaty. When you don't know what is in the bill, why vote for it? Finally, if the jackwagon is for it, I am against it.
