There are always alternatives to the two parties to vote for. Personally I wish we would allow "none of the above" on the ballot.

but oftentimes these people are also clowns, or at the very least unproven in governance.

my argument here is that a Romney voter is just as obligated to "Hold Obama accountable" as an Obama voter, or someone who didn't vote at all. Whoever wins is the president for all of us.

As opposed to those we vote for? Obama was proven in governance?

I always find myself agreeing with you. Some won't and some can't handle the truth, that is their problem.

It is definitely sheer ingorance, the way Obama is handled. As if he is some high and mighty King.

The silence is sickening, and expected by this time. Media and his sheep, would not have it any other way.

I actually don't expect much from his supporters, they are exactly as he is in his warp sense of ideals. And there excuses for the Preisdent are too sickening.

Unless the media suddenly wakes up, i see nothing chaning anytime soon.
