President Bush (older one) signed Nafta. Was voted in the Senate, 60 to 38, November 20. Was SIGNED INTO LAW by President Clinton Dec. 1993. Although started by Bush, this law was CLINTON'S priority and is said to be Clinton's first success. Source, History.com

A ratified treaty signed into law, what president has rejected a treaty that was ratified by 2/3rds senate ever?

As everything else in life, they were for it before they were against it.

Democalypse 2012 - Bain Damage The Daily Show host Jon Stewart on Monday night express his disappointment with Mitt Romney for not going back in time and killing Adolf Hitler. Stewart was poking fun at a senior adviser for Mitt Romney, who claimed the Republican presidential candidate had “retired retroactively” from his equity firm Bain Capital in 1999. After that time, the firm was involved in offshoring jobs and several bankruptcies. “This retroactive retirement is the worst use of a time machine I have ever seen,” he said. Stewart also mocked Romney for claiming that those who criticized him were trying to punish his success. The Republican presidential candidate has offshore investments, allowing him to pay a smaller percent of income taxes than most Americans, and as Stewart noted, he received $77,000 in business deductions to send his dressage horse “to the fucking prom.” “Nobody cares that Mitt Romney is rich,” he explained. “It’s Romney’s inability to understand the institutional advantage that he gains from the government’s tax code largesse, that’s a little offensive to people, especially considering Romney’s view on anyone else who looks to the government for things like, I don’t know, food and medicine.”

Limbaugh: Batman villain "Bane" could be conspiracy to defeat Romney Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday suggested that Hollywood liberals have been plotting for years to release the third and final Batman movie before the election in 2012 with a villain who’s name sounds like GOP hopeful Mitt Romney’s former company, Bain Capital. “Do you know the name of the villain in this movie?” Limbaugh asked his listeners. “Bane. The villain in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is named Bane. B-A-N-E. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran and around which there is now this make-believe controversy? Bain.” “The movie has been in the works for a long time, the release date has been known — summer 2012 — for a long time,” he added. “Do you think that it is accidental that the name of the really vicious, fire-breathing, four-eyed, what-ever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?” “And now there’s discussion out there as to whether or not this was purposeful and whether or not it will influence voters. It’s going to have a lot of people. This movie, the audience is going to be huge. A lot of people are going to see the movie, and it’s a lot of brain-dead people, entertaining the pop-culture crowd. And they’re going to hear ‘Bane’ in the movie and they’re going to associate ‘Bain’ and the thought is that when they start paying attention to the campaign later in the year and Obama and the Democrats keep talking about Bain — not Bain Capital — Romney and Bain that these people will think back to the bad man.” [image]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/batman_bain_120717a-615x345.jpg[/image] According to The Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe, Bane first appeared in Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 in January 1993. It wasn’t until November of that same year that Romney took a leave of absence as the CEO of Bain Capital to challenge Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy (D). In December 2008, Batman director Christopher Nolan told USA Today that he already had “rough outlines” for the third “Dark Knight” film. Although it was widely assumed Romney would run for president in 2012, he officially announced his exploratory committee to seek the Republican nomination in April 2011.

Does any one else think that Rush missed his calling in life? He demonstrates massive raw potential in the comedy field. I see him as perhaps playing the straight role in a comedy duo - playing with say Jon Stewart or even Eddie Murphy (if Rush can get over his reservations about being seen in the company of African-Americans). Even his physique and appearance seem ideally suited to such a role. He has already demonstrated he possesses all the other necessary attributes. Rush's advanced years also count in his favour - they say there's no fool like an old fool.

Obsolete . that which causes death or destroys life: entrapped and drowned beneath the watery bane. In any event, I think that the actor Bale will be the bane of Bane in the next Batman movie. But why stop there? Rush completely missed the nominative connection between the sweet faced Halle Berry and Haliburton so prevalent in one of the Mission Impossible movies. Trying to make "Hali" "Burton" into a 'sweet faced' but loveable 'tough guy,' nonetheless. How about that commie movie, The FalseTeeth Falcon? But then, any movie other than Red Dawn is a commie movie anyway.

There's that crappy film of the Fountainhead, as well. Limpdick might go for that one as well...
