I agree. Neither party or their politicians are doing a good job. I believe they are doing a terrible job and it is now just a game of being re-elected and what scheme can they come up with to benefit their party. The results of their actions or in-actions are what matters, and they are not good. Lots of excuses are being made for these failures, and nothing will change until the voters stop voting straight ticket...which I do not see changing. Voters enable bad government. I am just overall disgusted at our politics today. No one is making me happy.

mm, you are not alone in your frustration which emanates primarily from reading all the doom and gloom stories in the press that is being led by FOX News. Can you imagine the disappointment and even anger on the part of many of us including myself when we hear things from the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Mitch McConnell that they are not accepting the will of the people where they expressed it by electing Obama. As I have repeated like a broken record, why are folks even tolerating Limbaugh when he is abusing democracy by preaching a revolt against established democratic practices like electing a President. Look ate the Republican Governors busy changing the rules i n their states to reapportion their delegates so that they can sneak in a Republican into the WH in 2012. Have you expressed any outrage over that in so that they are tampering with the process that we have followed for over the years. Anyway here is some good news about the economy which also calls the bluff of the right wing and their media. The economy is on the mend albeit slowly. But none the same it is on the mend and not in a free fall that we saw when Bush was leaving office. And it is dangerous to change course mid stream particularly when the current is increasing and the tide is showing signs of rising. ============================================ Economic Growth in U.S., Though Still Modest, Speeds Up ….contd at nytimes.com ========================= Mortgage rates fall to 4.10% ….contd at chicagotribune.com ====================== Jobless Claims in U.S. Decreased 2,000 Last Week to 402,000 ….contd at businessweek.com
