  I getting the feeling you are regretting your vote. What happened to all that hope and change stuff? Like all the openness, transparency, income redistribution and social justice. I'll tell you what happened, the Tea Party.

  Stop the deficit spending.

  Stop big government.

  Let the free market do its thing, make money and jobs.

  Speaking of President Lincoln, it was during his presidency between 1861- 1863 when congress was relieved of the Southern vote that a majority of Republicans were able to pass historic legislation. “The Homestead Act, which promised 160 acres of free public land largely in the West to settlers who agreed to reside on the property for five years or more; the Morrill Act, providing public lands to states for the establishment of land-grant colleges; and the Pacific Railroad Act, which made the construction of a transcontinental railroad possible. The 37th Congress also laid the economic foundation for the Union war effort with the Legal Tender bill, which created a paper money known as “greenbacks.” A comprehensive tax bill was also enacted, establishing the Internal Revenue Bureau in the Department of the Treasury and levying a federal income tax for the first time in American history” (Team of Rivals by D. Kerns Goodwin)
  Today Republicans would call these Acts socialist, Marxist or leftist . . . etc.

  Hey Tina,

  I read Obama's books before I voted for him. And most everything he's done in office was what I expected him to do. I agree. He is a decent conservative president.

  It really doesn't matter what a president accomplishes, it's the House that pays the bills. The president can only set the agenda. The longer the country remains in recession the more the public becomes unhappy with the current administration. The current bickering, stonewalling, posturing, foot-dragging and negative rhetoric that comes out of congress is designed to create dissatisfaction and tilt the vote in favor of the GOP. Unfortunately political ploys are always at expense of the public. Both Democrats and Republicans do it but the Republicans are better at it.

  If he was all white the Tea Party and GOP would be behind him as one of the greatest leaders, but because he's 1/2 black, they will never accept him. Plain and simple.
