We’re Finally Getting Somewhere

February 27, 2009

President Barack Obama is working hard to fix our country, and no matter what you think of his politics you have to agree that he is one of the hardest working people in the government right now. The man pushed as hard as he could and got the Economic Stimulus Bill passed, and that is just the beginning for the man. It is great to see that change is coming to the US no matter what anyone else says.

The beauty of this is that with him working so hard to get his first bill passed, we can assume that this is now somewhat off of his plate, which moves up everything else. And by moving up everything else of course, this means that this puts us closer to getting somewhere on the overturning of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act or UIGEA and making online poker legal again.

The fact that Obama could get this large of a piece of legislation passed in a mere 26 days tells us that it shouldn’t take even part of that time to make online poker legal. Many poker players, including the PPA voted for Obama because they felt that he would get the UIGEA overturned, and at the very least get poker players exempted from the act.

This seems like a step in the right direction, and because of the speed with which things seem to be moving, many think that we could see online poker legalized before the end of the year. Poker players – get ready to rejoice.
