Yeah, I've lost a lot of faith in Obama. Perhaps the economy will recover during his term, and he'll get tons of praise for it. That's always a possibility. Anyways, I don't think we should be pointing fingers at parties or people. Both sides are terrible. Like the Roman Empire, our decline is synonymous with a string of terrible leaders.

It took a year and a half, but finally your starting to see things like me :).

This is the advantage of being 40. It took you until 23, and the next 17 years of your life will do nothing but enforce this feeing, until one day your arguing with 23 years olds about how it's not this party or that, but it's the system.

Welcome to the small government argument :)

Well, I'm talking specifically about today's politics. I have no problem with pointing my finger at people who ran up our national debt a ton (Reagan, the Bush duo), nor do I see an issue in criticizing a guy who handed our economy over to foreign nations (Nixon). So yes, from what I have observed, most of the fuck ups that have led to our current predicament were caused by Republicans. Recessions have happened dozens of times in our history, I'm not complaining about that. It's thing that were set in stone decades ago. Complain about FDR as you will, but he didn't doom us all.

Rant over. I blame the roots of our problems on the Republicans (hence why I'm a liberal registed Independent), but none of the parties have it right today. Not even the Libertarians.
