very nice logo

that´s right!

This is a two party system. Anything less is a dictatorship. In the old Soviet Union they could vote, but only one person on the ballot. Do you really want only one party?

@Tommy3D First of all, I NEVER SAID I WANTED ONE PARTY. I want the guy I elected to ACT like the guy I voted for. In 2008,the country's message was clear: The conservative agenda is NOT the will of the people. When Democrats choose to capitulate rather than GOVERN, they lose voters. Hence the mid-term. Secondly: We have one party now. It has three wings. Teabaggers(GOP) Republicans(GOP) and Democrats (GOP Lite). But you're right about what constitutes dictatorship. The Germans in the thirties got to vote...just like WE do.

I voted for Obama, too, and I think he did the right thing. Sometimes one has to compromise in order to get anything done. I certainly didn't like the way the mid-terms turned out, but what I find more disquieting is the number of those who supported Obama in 2008 but have turned their backs on him because the change he promised hasn't come fast enough. Were they not listening when he said it was going to take time? Did they really expect that the mess inherited from the previous administration could be fixed overnight? By that reckoning, House Speaker-designate John Boehner should already be held accountable for not having made things better before he actually assumes control of the gavel. And in the midst of all this talk about what hasn't happened yet and what won't happen in the next two years, too many people on both sides of the aisle don't seem to be paying a lot of attention to some positive things that HAVE happened during the first two years of the Obama Administration. Things like the removal of roughly 100,000 American servicemen and women from the quagmire in Iraq; the addition of $4.6 billion to the Veterans' Administration budget, to recruit and retain more mental health care professionals; increased funding for the Violence Against Women Act; the elimination of subsidies to private lender middlemen of student loans and protect student borrowers; the expansion of Pell grants to help low-income students pay for college; establishment of the "Credit Card Bill of Rights," which prevents credit card companies from imposing arbitrary rate increases; the creation of financial reform law establishing a Consumer Protection Bureau to look out for the interests of everyday Americans - that's you and me, Bunky; and the creation of more private sector jobs in 2010 than during the entire eight years of the George W. Bush Administration, (as demonstrated by information contained in the September Jobs Report). Yes, the road to recovery is proving to be a slower one than many of us originally hoped. But successes like this are why President Obama has my continued support. And he achieved them, I hasten to add, without taking a single person's gun away from them...

@John Small I don't disagree with a single thing you have said. And that's all good stuff! That said, I've watched the majority become absolutely meaningless in Obama's tenure. WHY? The delusional concept that governing rests in "meeting the other guy half way" BEFORE you negotiate. Meanwhile, the "hostage takers" have a list of demands, and Obama keeps meeting them. The Somali pirates are keeping a low profile these days: Obama got it right on that one;)

Nothing different from the URSS, no matter who you vote, who really govern are the same people. You only elect the showman, you can pick one with this flavor or the other with that flavor and the result continue the same. You had a Bush with an authoritarian macho style speech and you have an Obama with a soft, gentle, "democratic" style speech, but both do and did the same things, both created, continued, expanded wars and wanted to make new ones, both told one thing and did another, both are based on lies, both gave money to the bankers and Wall Street, both degraded the image of America in the world, both were surrounded by the same people, both generated profit over profit to those same greedy people, both promoted "patriotic acts", treated citizens as criminals or terrorists, both scared, both scared population to exchange freedom for nanny protection and so on......

I seldom believe what they say...but I MUST believe what they do.

High rating for the art and the discussion!

Great idea for the logo

Yes. Not at all what I voted for--sold down the river, we are-
