The same cannot be said of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who reveals his true colors with his attempt to smear Mr. Soros. And while Soros has assisted efforts to legally provide sick and dying Americans with medical marijuana, Hastert has ensured that medical marijuana legislation in Congress died in committee, session after session, despite 80 percent public support. If only this planet had a few more billionaires with a conscience like Soros, we'd all be better off. Thank you, Mr. Soros!
