bill signed into law. well, that's just fantastic.

At least he has absolved himself of any blame since, you know, he has "serious reservations with certain provisions."

yeah, it certainly makes the bitter pill easier to swallow. congress shouldn't have put this bill together, he shouldn't have signed it. every signee should be voted out, asap. i guess when he said change, voters thought he meant a good change. oops.

I guess his re-election strategy will be that he isn't as bad as the other side.

based on this move, i don't know that he could actually win that argument. what good is being smarter than bush, if you act just like him?

The time to get upset about this stuff is in the months prior to the signing, while Congress is adding their horrible little nasties to it. Not after it's all done.

At least the President eliminated much of the warmongering aggressiveness and attempts to incite trouble with Iran put in by the GOP (reference the Iran financial sanctions) Nice to see you guys give him credit for that. Oh, wait ... you aren't.

Not to mention the following:

Among the changes the administration secured was striking a provision that would have eliminated executive branch authority to use civilian courts for trying terrorism cases against foreign nationals.

The administration also pushed Congress to change a provision that would have denied U.S. citizens suspected of terrorism the right to trial and could have subjected them to indefinite detention. Lawmakers eventually dropped the military custody requirement for U.S. citizens or lawful U.S. residents.

The President eliminated the indefinite military detention and denial of right to trial the GOP placed up you and your fellow citizens. You're welcome.

Yea because Iran is so misunderstood. Maybe we can throw them a couple of billion and be friends.

What in the world are you talking about? This had nothing to do with giving Iran any money.

Strawman? Lets face it you are a shill and generally unable to think an original thought.

Fail. Yes, I know you don't like me. Old news. Try again. Try learning what the GOP tried to place into the bill regarding international banking options and sanctions against Iran, what made it through, what was removed, what Iran's response was, and get back to me. That is, if you want to talk politics. If you just want to sit in a circle-jerk with Dell and call me names, have at it, but thanks, I'll pass.
