If we had a Congress & House that actually worked for the people instead of slobbering on the knob of the special interests' groups that help feed their egos by getting them re-elected, imagine the good a sensible president could do. Instead, we're stuck with radical Christians, morons, and expatriates from Bioshock's Columbia in those seats. It seems even common sense is an exclusively Democratic trait now. I hate the fact that if I turn on Fox News right now, there will be people condemning Obama for this speech. People who'll be too busy giving auditory hand-jobs to the far-right wing. People who get paid enough money to forget about the rest of America, who hate the poor, the needy, the non-white, the non-American. It's so disappointing it makes one lose faith in the idea of capitalism and democracy and stop voting, and yet we must vote. To stop idiots from getting into power. To stop the short-sighted from dooming the rest of us. Because if a Republican candidate wins next year, we, as a nation, will be screwed.
