Issues such as this are personal, and politicians have no business getting involved, other than as private citizens, in which capacity they can spend as much of their own money as they wish.  Remember when Georgie convened Congress in the middle of the might to pass a bill that would benefit one woman?  Remember how James Baker got his buddies to pass legislation that costs pool owners millions of dollars, simply because his granddaughter perished in a pool accident?  And remember how the Clinton administration snatched an infant from the arms of his family and sent him to Cuba?  All inappropriate, in my opinion.  By their actions, these politicians made personal, family matters political, which they never should have been.
