Sorry, Ray - I admire your enthusiasm but can't say I think that swapping in a Republican monkey for a democratic flunky will make much difference.
The system is broken.
Sponge has touched on it many times - the right assails Obama for similar actions that they praised Bush for.
It makes no sense - except that the ruling elite in this country WANT it this way. The status quo works for THEM. They want the general population at odds with each other - that way nothing changes and they can do what they want.
It should not take being a millionaire to run for political office - be it state or federal. You also should not become exponentially more wealthy as a politician - look at Madjack's recent post in here.
The country needs a revolution and unfortunately, it'll more likely be like the French than the American....

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) $220.40 Million
3.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) $193.07 Million
4.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) $81.63 Million
5.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) $76.30 Million
how do you know when you?ve really made it?
When your blind trust reports 10 transactions valued at $5 million to $25 million in the span of a single month.
According to Warner?s annual report, the MRW Blind Trust ? which he does not directly control ? made a series of purchases and sales of Standard & Poor?s Depositary Receipts in June 2010, earning the Senator interest and capital gains of $100,000 to $1 million.
Warner, who made his fortune as a telecom mogul, co-founding Nextel telecommunications company, reported an increase of more than $6 million in his minimum net worth in 2010.
That growth stems in part from the Virginian?s stake in the Columbia Capital Equity Partners investment company, based in Alexandria, Va. Warner reported his investment in that company was worth $5 million to $25 million, an increase from its 2009 value of $1 million to $5 million.
He also continued to decrease his debts in 2010, dropping $1 million in liabilities and leaving only a relatively minuscule loan of at least $15,000 from the Virginia Commerce Bank.

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact the Israel is about to drop some lead on Iran?
How low did the oil prices go when we, ummm NATO was kicking the shit out of Libya?
First F-16, that Israel has yet to pay us for, that screams into Iranian airspace and drops shit nuggets on the Iranians, watch the oil prices take a huge jump, and continue
