Sorry, Hank, we've been busy fixing your teeth, providing healthcare, keeping the US out of war, getting us out of the great recession, opening Cuba, and getting a non-proliferation treaty done. The President is swamped.
Maybe if your republicant buddies could stop the grandstanding and clown car stuff long enough for Congress to just not get in the way - or maybe if your teeth weren't quite so bad....
