Never believe too much found on the internet. The giveaway
here was the law Obama was supposed to have enacted. He
cannot, as he is a powerless President-Elect. Seriously,
much more substantive postings than this one are quite often
not peer reviewed, and can be seriously misleading,
sometimes deliberately. Others are a load of codswallop. Be
discerning and selective while on the internet.
