You defeat the purpose of my name 
How about No Obama for short ? 
I know you do not like the abortion topic and I really do not like the Iraq war topic so we can agree not to talk about either with eachother.
I agree the far majority of politicians will say or do anything they think will help them get elected. I honestly can not name even one politician that I really trust or like or can be enthusiastic about. Mitt Romney is the closest but even that is not what I wish it could be. I think in general they have to have some corrupt desires to even enter politics. Or they genuinely cared but after a taste of power they let themselves become corrupt.
I have read that the Grand Old Party will lose at least 20 seats, maybe more in the fall. This should give the Dems enough power to do what they think is right. Then we can see if it works. I hope very much that if they blow it people will be honest enough to say it. And I hope if they can make real and genuine change people (like me) can say oh, that was not so bad. That really worked out nice. But I think what will happen is they will blow it in conservative eyes, and no matter what they do wrong will be considered right in liberal eyes, and nothing changes.
It is safer to have it more balanced, but I am tired of hearing what they could do if they had the power. (I am talking about both Republicans and Democrats) I would rather give them all the rope they need and want and let them hang them selves. We are in so deep now I don’t see any way out.
2012 should be interesting either way. Have you ever wondered if we
could ever have another civil war in our Country? I have a feeling we will.
