Chinu - I have told you before. I really am not a political person.

I support no party with either my time or my money. I do believe strongly that our govt must live within its means and in the near term work responsibly to get this debt under control within a reasonable number of years. I think our leadership has hardly scratched the surface with the bill they have on the table now. It was mostly politics and showmanship. Not really solving the problem.

I do believe that Obamacare will turn out to be an Obamanation when it kicks in and that we were not in a position to add another entitlement when we were having problems funding the existing entitlement programs. These positions I have in common with the tea party. I do think revenue will be part of the solution so I guess I differ a bit with them.

Regarding O - I do not hold him in high esteem. To me you can not trust what he says, as he is very liberal with the facts and truth.(probably most politicians are to be fair). In spite of not being a great supporter of his, I can not say I want him to fail. But all this matters not - He will succeed or fail by what he does, not by what I want of him. And if the economy/jobs situation does not turn around, he will fail. Not because I want him to, rather by what he did or did not do.
