Both parties supported it, including the President. But on a lighter note it was voted down with bipartisan support from both parties. @ Lib Smasher: Im curious why do people like you keep referring to President Obama as our "Messiah"?
There are many Liberals who disagree with some of Obama's actions but unlike you we don't go after his patriotism, legitimacy, only his actions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
