I didn't think the President could unilaterally get rid of that bill. If that's not the case, then I'm equally pissed off. Must go research that...

Bo is innocent. I couldn't believe that the benefits extended did not include health or retirement benefits. What other benefits are there? Seriously! I'm livid about the brief. The administration did NOT need to go there and they chose to do so. Maybe Obama thinks he has our votes locked in, but he doesn't have our money and that's where our affluent brothers and sisters need to hit him. (And who knows? The Republicans may take a page from Meghan McCain and in keeping with their "govt stay out of our lives" philosophy, drop some of their socially conservative stances and support same-sex marriage. That'd sure be interesting. I don't know how likely it is.) I totally agree, except for the part about Bo. Bo is innocent.
