Think of it like this: If you don't go to the dentist, don't brush your teeth, don't floss and eat a lot of sugary foods over the course of several years, your teeth will likely be rotting out of your jaws, you'll have gum disease and probably some infections. Now, you could have spent $50 a year for simple cleaning visits, a toothbrush/toothpaste, etc., but instead you're now facing $5000 or more of reconstructive surgery, dental implants or dentures. It will take several visits and you won't instantly (or possibly ever) have that same pearly white smile you did before you stopped maintaining your oral hygiene.
Don't waste your intelligent and thoughtful post...this person and so many others on here have nothing better to do than sit around getting red-faced and breathless about how much they hate the President, and compile their little lists of negatives...

They're operating as if the GOP is going to sweep into office in 2012, pull a magic wand out of their hind ends, and magically make everything right, so that the country will go back to their 'Pleasantville' version of things...as if
