Foreigners are fascinated with our politics. Why?

given what we know now and given that we only had two choices. obama or mccain. i think obama has shown to be the best choice.

has he done everything he promised exactly as promised. hell no. but he is not a king he is a president. he has to make compromises. i think in most cases people that voted for him are upset because he went too far to the right.

Driving them completely off the deep end.

 

no. he went right in healthcare reform. the went right on the wars. he went right on bank reform.

 

Like the fish that you are, you'll bite anything that sparkles. Our 'conservative" government is probably equivalent to, or left of, your Democrat party.
