I have been voting for almost 40 years, I have voted in every Presidential election I could, I can only think of one time I liked the person I voted for. I was always a registered Democrat until I moved into my small town and found out all local elections were decided in the primaries because no one ran on the democratic ticket. By the time I changed my party affiliation I realized it didn't matter in NJ anyway because by the time they got to our primary the presidential candidates were already decided.
Most years I vote for who I think is the lesser of two evils. Yes I voted for Obama for that reason, I don't know if I will vote for him again it depends on who else is running.
The President can only do so much if the congress will not cooperate. The recent Bull Shoot with everyone fighting for the most TV coverage and no one caring about the little guy and how he/she was going to survive with no Social Security was a prime example of that.
Yes I think there is a lot wrong with our government now, but if you really read your history books you will see that at different times in the history of our nation we have had similar or worse problems with our government.
I don't know how to make things better I just know until you have ALL the facts you can't blame it on just one person.
