Reply #25: He's going to suffer for our overly high expectations [View All]

for the next four years, if he's elected.

He'd be swept into office by an electorate that wants change, a lot of it, but how much is he going to be able to accomplish with a Congress that has been bought off for years?

Also, this mess has been 40 years in the making. When Johnson went out of power in 1969, so did the liberals. We've had nothing but conservative administrations by both parties since then, conservative administrations that focus on helping institutions and cheating individual people by keeping wages low and lying about what that has done to us. Both parties have been complicit and Reaganism was upheld by Clinton, who had 2 years of a friendly Congress in which to undo at least some of the damage. There's no way one administration can undo it in four years.

I'm afraid the government of this country is forced to do the right thing for the people only when things become so desperate that they fear being overthrown.

Unless we get that desperate and real change happens, Obama will be blamed for business as usual.
