yeah, it's a lot like that...
I don't follow any party line, and in many ways you could say that I was a Policial Athiest.
However, that doesn't absolve me from trying to make informed choices in the elections...
Yes, I know that it's still a ways off, but I figure I'll get in on the action now... See, with the democrats, it's easy, there going to try and re elect the incumbent...
So it's Obama for them....
Whatever, he was pretty vague about the Change that he promised and so far, it doesn't seem to be for the better, his health care plan is great... If your healthy, that is.
I won't go into details, but have you ever noticed that when Government tries to fix something, a lot of political posturing is made, a lot of people are jumping to one side or the other of an issue, but for the most part, (aside from politically motivated ideologues) health care professionals are rarely asked what they think needs to be done?
Yeah, what's the old line, We're from the government and we are here to help....
So how's that change coming?
Did he form a foreclosure prevention fund to keep homeowners from becoming homeless?
Yeah, right, 75 billion later, and the major lending banks had a huge influx of money with no strings attached by the fed.
So let me get this straight, that's how we help people falling behind, by giving banks money???
Here's a few sources if you wanna read more, but have some aspirin ready, (generic of course...)

Did he end income tax for seniors making under 50 grand? Yep he promised that... Nope, he's done nothing...
But what about the big ones?
Did he let the Bush tax cuts expire? well, there are many reasons, you see, and the economy is doing kinda not so swell, so we didn't let them expire, but hey! we didn't make em permanent either, we just kinda extended them... Until around the next election cycle...
Huh. So, your procrastinating or just saving it for political hay before your next election?
Close Guantanamo Bay??? No, huh....
Iraq and Afghanistan??? Hell, we got Bin Laden, where's the.... what? Libya? huh?
So what have we gotten?
Healthcare... Yeah, because it works so well now...
The Deficit... If your credit cards are maxed and your deep in debt, you don't look to get another credit card....
The stimulus package... Ummm did it even come close to working?
Partisanship... For someone who promised to reach out, honestly, we thought you meant to the opposing party, not your own...
And for the love all all that we hold dear, STOP APOLOGIZING for everything you "think" America has done wrong...
You apologized to the French.... because you believe that we've been acting arrogant towards europe. Aside from the fact that we made sure that the french don't now speak german, WHY?
You apologized to various nations for our stance on arms control because we actually have used a nuclear weapon.... (You know, to end world war two in the pacific theater? History anyone?)
He even apologized for the Bay of Pigs debacle.... Really?
Okay, okay, he didn't use the word, but used words like mistakes, past history, and other sorta mea culpas for things that would, what? Make the world think your a humble guy?
Wake up, the President of the US isn't supposed to be humble, or talk to our allies and other nations with a hat in hand, oh gee, were sorry kind of behavior...
If your really concerned that america had screwed up... Your right, we sure have, and your job, is to make sure that we don't fuck up again....
Jeez, man, grow a pair...
So here's to you, Incumbent hopeful in the next election, and to all that you've accomplished so far;
And in case you think that I'm some right wing fundamentalist...
Stay tuned...
The GOP is next up....
