of who had voted
for it, and therefore no accountability.)

“And President Obama’s pocket veto of the measure? He had to veto it—
if he’d signed it,
there would have been political hell to pay, plus it would have been
challenged almost
immediately, and likely overturned as unconstitutional in short order.

Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the
conclusion that your economic system sucks.

I suggest you quit making a fool of yourself. GWB and his pals took it

while they're setting up shop in Bahrain and who knows where.

Would you invest a single red cent over there ? No way, they have REAL

Those guys are not investing; they are hunkering down. Too bad they
don't believe in climate change; I would have picked the South Pacific.
