I wouldn't see either party having a "trifecta", so to speak, as being a good thing. If Obama is elected and the Democrats have control of Congress and the Senate and Obama's economic ideas aren't sound and they are allowed to be instituted without hindrance, we could be looking at a disaster of epic proportions. And yes, I'd feel the same way if McCain is elected. I wouldn't want to see either party controlling everything. I would much rather see both parties use sound judgement and seek professional, unbiased (if there is such a thing) help in the economics department after the President is elected and prompty forgets all those promises they made to get elected. |
Yes, I agree with you, but Pelosi scares the hell out of me - and if she is allowed to play politics in these times - god help all of us.
