-.- I'll wait until I actually see it, until Congress passes some sort of law about this, the Supreme Court is the law of the land. Speaking ok the Supreme Court, anyone see when Obama basically dick slapped them about how they allowed corporations to spend as much money as it wants in campaign ads because they fall under the first amendment? Aww man I love our president.
Hes going to push for my restrictions on lobbyists, which means that corporations will have less say in government.
Wallstreet and corportations are in control and run the government. Obama is simply a puppet for them.
Not completely sure but i think it was just a response to this... Lexology - Supreme Court strikes restrictions on the use of corporate funds in political speech
He said that all lobbyists must disclose each professional contact they have with any governmental member. That's awesome, because it will really cut down on blackmail, corruption, ect. He's also limiting the power they have and what they can do alongside corporations, meaning companies such as Pfizer (pharmaceutical with too much power) and oil companies will not have as much power. Also meaning weed might be closer to being legalized, now that we're ridding the people who bribe the shit outta our government and make sure they still take the power away from the plant.
some smart talking tonight from the president just hoping he follows through with most of it *crosses fingers*
I love how right now the Democrats have such a huge advantage in both the senate and the house, and yet they can't pass anything, but when Bush was president it was more equal and he did what ever the fuck he wanted. Damn the 2 party system, it only exists to keep the status quo. I wish a 3rd party would get big enough to mix things up.
Or no parties? Then we could have people VOTE ON THE ISSUES. Instead of voting party lines. Fuck politicians. Why try so hard to stay in office, if you aren't going to do anything with the power?
Obama has always been a great speaker, his problem lately has been all talk no action. If he follows through with it then yeah, great. But there is a lot of things he has said and hasn't done. More years in office = more $$
