I'm pretty conservative when it comes to government spending, but I'm all for health care reform. I also support government regulation that prevents big business from raping our land of its resources, compromising the safety of the American people, and engaging in unfair business practices. I'm not as upset with Obama as I am with the Democrats in general. They're letting Republicans run the show. All this talk of bipartisanship needs to stop. That hasn't gotten them anywhere. It's not going to get them, heck us, anywhere. Stop wasting our time. A whole frickin' year has passed and still no health care reform, no real financial reform. Dems need to push through whatever legislation is best for the country and say the heck with the Repubs. They too soft. Give me a reason to take my lazy "a" to the polls in November. Sheesh. In the meantime, I'll continue saving, investing, and trying to take over the world. Our politicians, or any one else for that matter, sure as heck ain't gone give it to me. You are so right.
