Looks like Obama's on the cusp of fulfilling his dream

92. I think those "tough choices" do impact the lives of those who

Make them.

Look at Bill Clinton. He had to decide if he would sign off on the two banking "reform" measures that came to him late in his Presidency. And through signing those measures, the Glass Steagall protections that shielded the middle class from having to worry that our financial institutions would go and create derivatives and CDO's and other exotic instruments that would spell the demise of our society in a mere nine years from the day of his signing. Yet, with one swipe of his pen, Bill Clinton allowed for those "reforms."

And by the time he left office, he was bankrupt. But then, within six months of leaving office, he is making speeches for
$ 150K a pop. In very short time, he and Hillary are worth some 100 million bucks. All for two small signatures, that probably were only discussed on page 34 of the New York Times.
