They might as well be called the Republicrats. When in campaign mode Mr. Obama promised to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and he promised to close Gitmo. So far, he hasn’t done any of those things. Instead, he continues the policies of his predecessor.
The Obama administration has clung for so long to the Bush administration’s expansive claims of national security and executive power that it is in danger of turning President George W. Bush’s cover-up of abuses committed in the name of fighting terrorism into President Barack Obama’s cover-up.
When the New York Times starts criticizing their Savior, you know he’s screwing up.

Sir,
I agree. There is not a dimes worth of difference between the two parties. While the Democratic Party may get more contributions from the unions and trial lawyers, and the Republican Party from the Chamber of Commerce, The drug companies, big banks, and most of the other big contributors cover themselves by giving to both parties. Both parties are beholden to the same contributors. We vitally need a Constitutional Amendment to take the big money out of your national politics. I am sure you know of the Center for Respopnsive Politics. If not, give them a google and see what they have to say. Robert Walker

I know that the 2 big parties are exactly the same but try and convince anyone else of that! You will get lies, myths and fradulent claims till your ears hurt. Most Americans (I am one so I can talk about them) or too ignorant of politics to know this fact. They will continue to listen to propagandists on t.v., the radio, the internet or some form of print.
What is going to happen is we will go back and forth between the 2 big parties looking for a solution. Since both of them are the same niether will succede and the USA will fall over a few years. The collapse has already started (for the so called “optimist”, who are really unrealists). No we are not in a recovery and when we do get back to a 14000 wall street, I promise you my investments will be no where near what it was then.
Thanks,
