I guess I have to give Obama credit where credit is due.

Like Obama had anything to do with that decision. <rolling eyes>

It was the farmers, ranchers, goat owners, etc. who SPOKE OUT AGAINST IT!

everytime something like this happens it usually ends up being a tactic to get all to forget about it while in the back rooms they simply change the name strengthen the restrictions and slide it through at 3 am in the last few minutes of the session as an add on to something extremely necessary like funding for Social Security, or the like, then they uncover it later as "gotcha ya" laws then you need 2/3rds vote plus 3/4 of the states to remove it. I hope it dies but have lost much faith in common sense, when big money lobby has the best edge simply out of greed, sad sad sad, hope your right, best wishes, ray
