Actually anything the Government does these days at best makes you take a deep, deep breath.....sometimes I have to pinch myself just ot make sure I ain't dreaming.

I'm guessing they will come out with a little blue gel cap with the Obama Logo on it to put away your worries and put on a happy face.
