Cliff notes:
U.S. players have until December 1, 2009 to play poker online. Unless, the new administration votes it out?

Clif notes: Bush administration passes last-minute laws restricting online gambling in the US. They will be forcing financial institutions to monitor where checks are coming/going and to create a list of unlawful establishments and refuse service.

It has been found; however, that the Obama administration and the Democratic Senate/House/whatever can overturn any legislation passed in the final months of the Bush term. Therefore, if the people, the PPA, and influential politicians such as Barney Frank can drum up enough support against these laws we might have a chance.

I'm pretty upset about the entire ordeal, the Republican Party has done enough over the past 8 years, why couldn't they have taken the last two months off?

A final note (made by JeffreyS on 2+2) is that the NFL is definitely behind the UIGEA, and it's easy to see why. A large entity such as the NFL has us grossly outweighed in terms of spending power and I'm sure any other means, thereby making this process even more difficult on us.
