President Obama said he would sign the UN Disability Treaty but the Republicans blocked it, so it’s a broken Obama promise on the “Obamameter”.
So, the entire time I was reading this I thought that cliffelam had posted it and kept thinking, okay, where's the catch....? Now that I see it's a Mindwolf post, it makes more sense. I'm on Hubski enough to have learned the different political persuasions around here and that one just didn't ad up. Bummer that the GOP couldn't come to their senses on this one especially with Dole and McCain's urging. I've always liked Bob Dole, especially post politics. After he lost the election he sort of loosened up and showed his sense of humor. -Had he done this prior to the election it could have been a different result.
The treaty has a lot of problems with US sovereignty, like most UN treaties. Personally i would love to see the UN move to someplace that likes that kind of kleptocratic lunatic world government incompetence. It would save us a few $B/year and get some real-estate back in taxable mode. -XC
