    <p>US Attorney Arlo Devlin-Brown is a true blue american Democrat. I checked and he donates exclusively to Dem Presidential Candidates. So much for the kinder gentler more open Obama administration.</p>

    <p>Don't worry Obama will appoint an online poker czar soon. Having a czar in place solves everything.  The Dems are on the biggest power grab and hold of all time.  Obama is pandering to all the groups that got him there and can keep the Dems in power indefinitely.  It's sickening.  I had high hopes for him but he is a political beast.  </p>

    <p>I think this is total crap.  I work construction and there isn't much work because of the economy.  I play poker to support my family the best I can.  If I can't play poker online, then not only am I screwed, my kids are too.  </p>

    <p>Get out of the mindset that this is a Bush or Obama thing. Behind closed doors both parties are the same. They use moral and ethical issues to keep us divided while they conspire in the background. F them all except Ron Paul! </p>

    <p>Has anyone attempted cashing out of full tilt since this has happened.  I just tried and it seems to still be processing, I have a bad feeling about this.</p>

    <p>Here's the comment that Poker News Daily received from Cake Poker: Similarly, a source at the Cake Poker network says that, “It’s business as usual for us as we’re not exposed to any of the eCheck and bounced check problems that other rooms are having at the moment.”</p>

    <p>I cashed on tilt last week.  They sent me an email a few days later saying, the bank will not process this check, it is no good.  So the next day I got the check and tossed it. Tilt did ship me an extra 50 (yay), they aslo refunded my intial withdrawl.  </p>
    <p>SonnySausage, let me know if yours goes through</p>

    <p>Wow, I just woke up and checked this article out... Wasn't it determined in 2 courts that poker was a game of skill? I EARNED my money through hard work, countless hours of grinding. Isn't that the American dream? Work hard to earn your money so you can move up in society? Many people can't afford college, so are they excluded from pursuing their dream? But anyone who has the desire and drive can deposit $25 into online poker and, through hard work can turn it into thousands and finally change his or her life around. Honestly, this news sickens me and if this doesn't get resolved or if online poker gets banned, i am moving to canada. I will have officially lost all faith in our government... sry for the long rant, rly pissed me off</p>

    <p>Funny that the poker sites are giving people extra money when their cashouts are reversed.  The free money is just as inaccessable as the real money</p>
