I wish Obama had not caved on those riders, but...

I would really like to slap all the people who did not vote in 2010, letting so many 'baggers and cons win seats in the House. If you don't vote you are sure to lose.

9. Budget deal includes D.C. abortion rider, money for school vouchers

The spending deal agreed to Friday night to avert a government shutdown includes a provision banning the District from spending its own funds to provide abortions to low-income women as well as funding to continue a controversial school voucher program.

The inclusion of the abortion policy “rider” represents a victory for Republicans, who previously imposed such a ban when they controlled Congress and who included the provision in the version of the continuing resolution passed by the House in February. And it marks a sharp defeat for D.C. leaders, who fought to keep the ban out of a deal.

If you're in DC you've gotta feel sold out if you're pro choice or pro public schools. For me this is a troubling foot in the door.

3. I believe it's deeper than the baggers and cons.

We have a real problem with who counts and certifies our elections and it needs to be fixed. I wish the SOS of each state be required to use outside auditors preferably from another country if need be to verify election results before they are certified. Also, the auditors should be assigned randomly by lottery to each state to prevent certain firms from being favored and selected by such SOS.

10. I am more dissapointed in our leadership, than the voters

I really would like to talk some sense into them, but unfortunately they seem to listen to their corporate contributors more than to their constituents, and is why they lose their support.
