All this does is

make me definitely believe that dems that voted for this poison bill are in the back pocket of moneyed interests. No doubt in my mind anymore.

Unless Obama vetoes the bill. we're fucked.

Let's also wait on the senate.

was well aware that this Bill has to pass through the Senate and both houses have to agree on the whole thing before it gets to his desk. I hope he was also anticipating that the Senate won't pass it with the Citicorp language but a whole lot more needs to come out of it before it's palatable by any stretch. Same with the defense Bill and the crap that it has accumulated as it ambled its way through the chambers of social iniquity in DC.

I know what you mean, I mean, I know what you mean.

I was just hoping aloud. I have little hope for our country, the environment on a global scale. Seems those in power have a death wish and they are climbing into the driver's seat so they can floor it over the cliff, just like in Thelma and Louise.

I feel like I'm in some nightmare and every day there is some horrib thing making life less and less bearable.,, until I realize that I am not dreaming, I think.
