>>>How can there be any legislation forcing a manufacturer to include a part in one of their products? Geeze what's happening to my country?
>>
>>I hope this legislation dies a quick death.

>>I have been thinking a lot about next week's elections. It's clear already it's going to be a bloodbath for the Democrats. I think that's the best thing that can happen for Obama and this country. Here's why.
>>
>>What first excited me about Obama was he offered a way past the corrosive politics of the past generation. We have seldom had worse problems in this country and it was no time for partisan bickering. Unfortunately, that is exactly what we have had. From the start the Republicans have dedicated themselves to opposing everything he proposes. They don't seem to care about getting anything done. They just want to win the next election.
>>
>>I hold special contempt for the Republican Supreme Court, which ruled corporate and private money can pour into politics with no fingerprints attached. That money is dominating this year's races. The money has no social conscience and is dedicated to the rollback of health care reform and the partial reform of Wall Street. The latter, as watered down as it is, is a punch in the nose of public interest. The big money is dedicated unabashedly to enriching the already rich.
>>
>>What encourages me is losses next week will be the best thing that could happen to Obama. If the Republicans win they will lose the pose of obstructionists. It will be up to them to govern. And they have proven themselves again and again incapable of governing. All they know are tax cuts and deregulation. Those are the worst possible moves in the current crisis. They will be tossed back out again in 2012 and Barack Obama will be a two term president.

>I'm really glad you are encouraged and I share with you the hope that the President gets the best thing that could happen to him <s>
