Lower My Credit Card Payment, But Let Me Be Exposed To Gun Toting Individuals At Yosemite! Yippee!

When Obama signs a bill with a provision that even Bush wouldn't allow, you really have to ask yourself who's really in charge of the store.

Congress on Wednesday sent President Obama a set of new rules governing credit card companies, completing a trio of consumer-related measures that Democrats had raced to get signed into law by Memorial Day.

But the credit card victory came at a cost that angered some backers of the legislation: approval of an unrelated provision allowing visitors to national parks and wildlife refuges to carry loaded weapons if they are otherwise licensed to possess guns.

“The real winners in this amendment are law-abiding Americans who will not be treated as criminals even though they are good people,” Representative Rob Bishop, Republican of Utah, said.

Hmmmm, um, NOT!

This is why how congress operates needs a complete 180 degree overhaul. How and why a bill that is primarily for the purpose of preventing the further gouging of Americans by the credit card industry came complete with an attached piece of legislation allowing people to carry loaded weapons in PARKS is beyond being rational! Scratch going to Yosemite this year off my list, thank you.
