[Hoot Gibson]

A small bipartisan group in Congress has been trying to get a vote on this bill for a long time. They deserve credit for their persistence and for shining a bright light on the crooks in our federal government who have been using insider information to grow wealthy for many years.

This is something that either Bush or Obama could have shamed Congress into passing but neither chose to take the lead. There is no way that Obama could veto this legislation in an election year but he will undoubtedly hog credit for the new law.
