But it feels so good now that other countries like us....they do right???? And now that we closed GITMO and ended the Patriot Act....they have done all that...right? And President Obama said the the stimulus bill would prevent unemployment from going over 8%...that happened right? And I am so happy that President stopped signing bills with earmarks....he did right?
