Sorry for the

This is what gets me. It is true that Obama was my choice and I was really elated to see him elected rather than the alternative but that aside it is in all of our best interests to support the elected leader and see whether his policies work or not.

The republicans are ruthless and are only interested in playing politics to place themselves in the best position come 2010 and the democrats are spineless wimps overall who won't stand up to them now just as they didn't when dubl U was in there messing everything up that he touched. We're in a helluva shape in the meanwhile.

Maybe they have more in common than they have differences? While we bludgeon the crap outta each other. Oysters and champagne along thePotomac, business as usual.

That is why as a life long registered dem I switched to 'No party affiliation'. When Scoop Jackson died the rest were dems in name only .....excepting Senator Robert Byrd and maybe Senator James Webb.

BTW, not to change the subject but as far as health care goes if they will give all of us the same policy they have that would be fine ..... or take whatever it is they do pass for themselves instead.
