Good decision. Obama will go down in history as one of the great presidents. This man is totally underrated.

To be honest, that's at least better than it was before under the same Republican Congress! Low, low bar though.

The article says the is an 84 year old loophole, which means the FDR congresses, the LBJ congresses, and the Pelosi-Obama Congress all permitted it.

Not to mention Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes. But you know, whatever.
