Hey Raymond,
I have a serious question for you. If it doesn't matter who is in charge, as you have said many many times. Why does it excite you that Obama could lose in two years?

Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal wants members of Congress to stay home more often.
?We used to pay farmers not to grow crops, let's pay congressmen to stay out of Washington, D.C.,? Jindal said in an interview with Human Events. ?Mark Twain said that our liberty, our wallets were safest when the legislature's not in session.?
Jindal, himself a former congressman, said once elected, many lawmakers become entrenched in Washington and become the very people they once campaigned against.
?Make them part-time, give them term limits,? Jindal said. ?Don?t let them become lobbyists. When they have to live under the same rules and laws they pass for the rest of us, maybe you?d see some more common sense coming out of Washington, D.C.?
As the system works today, he said, ?you?ve got a permanent governing political class

Uhhhhh....BobbyBoy. The "rest of us" don't live rent free in a government mansion. We don't have state-paid staff to clean, cook and run errands for us. We don't get to work in a state chauffeured limo.
The "rest of us" have worked in real jobs, while you have been on the government tit all your adult life.
The "rest of us" aren't entitled to a state pension for four years' work.
The "rest of us" haven't handed Foster Farms $50 million taxpayer dollars in exchange for a $2500 campaign contribution.
The "rest of us" haven't campaigned for office from a state-paid helicopter and using Highway Patrol escorts.
Yep, you're a real Man of the People, BobbyBoy.
