USA, be careful what you wish for....

Well, I can't predict exactly predict what the US Presidential election will end up, but seems like currently, Obama is pulling ahead and well, if the U.S. wants Obama...so be it. I mean, people want CHANGE...right?

So, when the country was run by a Republican President with Republican dominated Congress and Senate, it didn't work well. Back when we had a Democratic President with Democratic dominated Congress and Senate, things didn't work well either.

Currently, we have a Republican President with a Democratic-dominated House....People wanted CHANGE and the last 2 years with a Democratic-dominated House and yes with a Republican leader steering the ship, we are here now.

So, let have another go around with a Democratic President/Democratic House/Democratic Senate. Then, things will fall apart, finger pointing and it will swing back to the Republicans.

So, while we tear ourselves apart, other countries such as Iran, Russia, China, Valenzuela, North Korea, etc. can keeping gunning for us....I don't have an answer nor a solution...but I can't wait till the Presidential campaign ends and we can start to put back this country together. I understand we need to go after the CEOs of Wall Streets, but boy, I'll believe it when I see it, Congress needs to go after their own people (both Democrats and Republicans) who were involved with our economic crisis. I know the populist is gunning for the CEOs, but what about our failed Congress which has even a lower approval rating than "W"!!

Funny, how history always repeat itself....What has happened before, will happen again....

You gave the answer during your rant......don't vote for the Democrats or the Republicans.

As you say, you would think people would learn their lesson eventually, but apparently not.

The two party system needs to be addressed. I think we need to make it easier for more political parties to be formed across the country.

Plenty have been formed. Forming a party is not difficult. Getting on the ballot and getting exposure in the media is what needs to be addressed.
