How can a US Senator be considered "an outsider to Washington"?
I would say that Obama has not really gotten the 'same old same old bug' as the Clinton seem to have. He just seems fresh and has not gotten the status quo feeling about him. At any rate, which ever one gets to the white house will not change it all in 4 years. It got this way in 8 years.
What exactly do you expect him (or anyone else) to change about the White House?
First thing we need to get done is closure on Iraq. Millions are being spent by the minute, not by the day. Immigration needs to be corrected. Borders checked/closed and a quota established on the number admitted to the states yearly. The illegals that are here need to have a road to citizenship established so they become tax paying citizens. Rounding them up and dumping them over the fence is not going to happen. Out sourcing needs to be curtailed. Tax right offs to companies that keep jobs here, not over seas. Welfare systems needs reform, needs a check and balance as well. Too many on the take. It is a shame what I see going on with welfare. Social Security needs to be reformed. Currently I'm dumping money in but when my turn comes, there will be no Social Security. Fair is fair in my book. But again, I do not see this happening in 4 years no matter who gets the presidency.
