I too hope Obama succeeds. To wish otherwise is to want to cut your nose off to spite your face.

While I know this country was founded as a Liberal country, I do think the extremists go to far, and I don't see Obama as an extremist. On the other hand, as I posted earlier, the extreme conservatives go too far also. Everything in moderation.

And the Republican free market principles were not totally free-market, but very pro corporate under the name of free market. And the Democrats aren't the answer either.

Here is some things I've noticed about the two parties.

The Republicans tend to steal money from the taxpayers and spend it on international exploits, and the Democrats tend to steal money from the taxpayers and spend it on domestic programs.

The Republicans raise fees (a tax by any other name is still a tax) and the Democrats raise taxes.

And for me voting is a process of selecting the lesser of two evils, and that is a sad thing for me to say.

I'd like to abolish both the Democrat and Republican parties along with the Electoral College and go with a multi-party, popular vote system, even with the problems and run-offs that come with that. I also think the presidential candidate with the second highest number of votes should be vice-president with veto power.

And I'd like to make lobbyists illegal. It's not freedom of speech as they tout, but tacit bribery.

I also think that any publicly elected official, who knowingly uses the office for his/her own personal gain and at the expense of the taxpayers, from president to dog-catcher, should be given a fair trial and if found guilty be either executed or given life with no possibility of parole, depending on the severity of the crime.

But I'm drifting off the subject again.

I want my million dollar bail out because I'm over 50
