great Presidential speech

[heinsite]

great to hear these responses. let's hope the legislature gets him something he can sign and we can all LIVE with.there is no bill YET (well, there's gaunce, he don't matter this time...LOL)what the president was doing was telling all of them, what he wants in the final bill. there still has to be a senate version, a house version, each finalized--then they have to GET TOGETHER and combine the two versions into one. that's what gets to the prez's desk.i think by now, and certainly after last night, some form of what he said should end up on his desk--however, there is some intermediary haggling as well...we'll see,wh

Whether they're an idiot and should go f%^& themselves largely depends on the arguments they use and the tactics they employ, respectively.
