Seems to me 48 votes won't change the outcome; although ...more the dual voting has to be stopped.
Sorry I was late to the show.
The country has not been taken.
I'll admit that Obama's campaign rhetoric stressed truth and transparency, but I think realists figured that didn't include the manual for diplomats, which is rather a murky volume. On the other hand, it's a fair point on which to berate him, because he did ...more make a powerful lot of noise about it.
