this is the same old, i will reform, but not now. Take a stand for it and let the people support you. If its fluff then cut it. Have the backbone to do it, not just talk about it. Both parties are to blame but he campaigned on reform and change. Now that he is there no change, and again no change.

I think fiscal conservatives should be granted some kind of protected class status, so we could declare congress a hate crime. We're obviously a minority, and I'm feeling DEEPLY offended.
