Kentucky senator Mitch McConnell was the guy behind the anti-online push. He didn't want money to be diverted away from his home state's Churchill Downs.
Yep and it's perfectly legal to bet on churchill at twinspires.com I believe. Will this allow for online slots, craps and the whole shabang too? I doubt sports betting will be involved as that would **** off way too many of the wrong folks.

Wow. Took him like 3 years to do something that doesn't prohibit freedom. Although I'm sure it'll be taxed to death so the government can buy people more rascal scooters... lol
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration cleared the way for U.S. states to legalize Internet poker and certain other online betting in a switch that may help them reap billions in tax revenue and spur web-based gambling

Oh well you learn something new everyday
That's a good thing, but even a broken clock is right twice a day so he was bound to do something right eventually.
I doubt it. Teabaggers will oppose President Obama on this one as well, just like they opposed him for cutting taxes for the middle class.
If Obama said breathing is good, teabaggers would hold their breath and die of suffocation.
I really like that last sentence!! Watching the baggers squirm on c-span was priceless..and entertaining. I like watching so many lick-spittle faces scream and rant and rave over a bill that was asked for (to give more time for negotiations). PRICELESS

Well, this is something I can agree with St. Hope and Change about...as long as the participants are over the age of 18, internet gambling should be legal here. Oh and btw, I'm part of the original Tea Party...before the asinine Koch brothers and neo-cons took it over.
