22. Obama has been saying this and resisting since 2009, when the GOP tried to fast track it.

They tied it to every budget and he had to side step it. This should be common knowledge, but the media is not into dispensing any of that about anything.

I'm very glad the NYT gave him this venue. He's not getting the chance on cable television, etc. His climate speech was only carried in full on the TWC, FFS.

it's been a struggle to get any of his policy and ideas out in public without them being censored or edited out blatantly. Hope that the NYT or some other paper will keep doing this.

Thanks for posting it...
