5. Because the language was far more disturbing the first time around.

Mainly because the first time around there was no exemption for US citizens written in. Or that was the greatest problem of many at the time. I believe the article I linked stated that much. Now even with the lukewarm provisions the White House is looking at this...or Obama is looking at this on the long term affect. But it doesn't seem like an affirmative signing. I realize that people want veto or not responses. But we also have to consider how far Congress will try to push this and I can see the President taking that into consideration considering the rather wide sweep of this bill in both the House and Senate who want to push something like this...Dems included.

Not to mention my issue is not only with Obama-- at least he's reading it to make a clear decision. My problem is with all the Dems that supported this action. And I don't get why they are not getting more air times. These are the people making our laws and they are the people in power alongside the President. Shit...these same people can supercede Obama's power and we don't even seem to be giving them the reaming they deserve.
