The Audacity of NOPE!
Edited on Sat Dec-19-09 11:41 AM by Vinnie From Indy
Efforts to clean up Wall Street abuses - nope!
Efforts to pull back from Bush era assaults on the Constitution - nope!
Efforts to reign in extortion by drug companies - nope!
Efforts to reverse war policies - nope!
Efforts to address "don't ask - don't tell" - nope!
Efforts to reign in the wanton criminality and loan sharking of credit card companies - nope!
Efforts to reign in health insurance companies ability to screw people over - nope!
etc.

It is looking more and more like the "Audacity of Hope" campaign material was simply a huge mistake at the printers and they ran with it anyway.

"Efforts to address "don't ask - don't tell" - nope!"

Already slated for the next defense appropriations bill.

"Efforts to reign in the wanton criminality and loan sharking of credit card companies - nope!"

Credit card reform bill passed, and the Consumer Financial Protection Agency created.
