Rest of the headline should read "and the Obama administration is pushing for immediate amnesty."

Blago is in Colorado.

It'll never pass...too many Dems doing too much insider trading to have the "heart" to tighten up the code.

I would disagree with the notion that the president is doing what he thinks is right for America. He seems to be doing what he thinks is right for himself and his cronies and leaving everyone else to pay their "fair share". Maggie Thatcher was right, the problem with socialism is that at some point, you run out of other people's money.

It certainly worries me on some level. While corporate America has more cash on hand than it ever has before (because of the failures from 2007 - 2009), the government is destroying the value of that cash because of the enormous debt they are generating. I hope to never have to see the actual conclusion of this drama.

The difference is that the current president won't actually do anything about it. He's all talk and no action. The media will conclude that he's a demi-god...he will correct them by leaving out the "demi-".

As much as people want to point to the financial services meltdown in 2008 as a Bush problem, the real culprits behind it all were Wm. Clinton, Barney Frank and Maxine Waters. The policies dictated by these elected officials in the mid-1990s led to the problems with people who had no business borrowing more than 100% of the equity in their homes getting OK'd for loans that they could never repay. While GWB may not have been the "best" President, he still held the position with dignity...something that cannot be said about his predecessor or successor.

If you didn't see this coming, then you had no vision for the future of a 4-year, lame duck president who didn't have to make any voters happy anymore. The man is a power-hungry sycophant whose leadership abilities couldn't get himself out of a wet paperbag. Unfortunately, there are so many folks who are on the government dollar that they really don't care, as long as someone is taking care of them. Come, Lord Jesus...

blasphemy - noun impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things. Yep, sounds like the president hit that nail directly on the head.

A little lesser known issue about a week ago, they exempted their staffers & families from the insider trading rules, basically creating loopholes for themselves in the law. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. 1 Timothy 6:10

Risk being dubbed "hypocrites"? Too late on that one already.
