Looking at GOP party affiliation and the general trend of voters, I don't see either the House or Senate returning to a significant Republican majority anytime soon.
So if Obama gets the presidency, he'll have a willing legislative branch. For a while, at least.

Dear Mr Subman1,

After reviewing you recent post with that picture of our next President, I am filing a claim AGAINST YOU for REIMBURSEMENT for a new pair of undies. I laughed so hard, that they got soiled and request you send me a new pair via Ebay or PayPal.

Since you shelled out the money for SH4, I assume you can afford to pay me for one pair of new undies.

Also, I have filed compliants to the moderators and they too agree with me that some form of action or reimbursement is in order.

Note to Self:
Follow up on this with a Nasty PM to Subman1

To an extent. It is easy to slam things through the House based on simple majority. The same cannot be said of the Senate.

That works both ways. A. It tells me that John McCain may have done nothing about it, but is he even on those committees?
B. It also tells me that Obama doesn't have any experience in leadership in the Senate, let alone as president, since he hasn't been in DC long enough to do anything either.

The last line of yours is very telling, not of you, but general concensus, "long enough to do anything either" What does the general public believe he will do or can do? I do not understand this phenominon at all. I find it very odd.

That he will do something different than what is currently being done. I think that is what a lot of people want.

I recently heard it put like this in regards to Obama...

Couldn't have put it any better....I think it is going to get old pretty soon to the tactic of trying to lump McCain as some clone of Bush...I think this will backfire on him soon when they begin to debate.

Voters'll probably go for the more qualified candidate who is also a bore. That worked great for Gore. And I hear conditions are ideal for a Republican candidate to win.

Like I said, uphill battle for Senator McCain.

The problem here PD is the good ole boy network in Washington is alive and well. I do not believe Obama is part of that network. It will take 4 years to change that if it can be changed at all.

Yes, the debates will determine if McCain is a Bush and old/delusional. Watch the elderly take offense to the old part and vote for McCain.

JFK's term was cut short, no telling where he could have gone or not gone. Shame really not to know what could have become of his presidency if full term was given.

What about the cuban misile crisis?

What about the Cuban Missile Crisis? JFK was ready to do what needed to be done. He showed his guts and the crisis was averted. Probably the toughest decisions he made as President.
