482: I have felt that way too. You are a good guy, don't give up hope. I guess there is a balance in all things in life; politics is way out of whack. Truthfully, I don't know anything about being a president or politician either. I know that I want a better country for my kids... we are out of balance here. We are out of balance with our economy.. spending... so many things. I think we just vote, stay involved, keep the faith. When the politics get to be too crazy on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, take a break & pray. My ultimate faith is in God anyways... not our politics & administration. Keep your chin up. Happy New Year. Scoot

Thanks Scooter, I shouldn't have even said anything. Just was ready for a couple days R&R and not any thing else! Just running through the forum before my kids and grand kids came over Christmas eve and I guess I took it wrong.
I was raised picking cotton and priming tobacco so I am old too, just wasn't sure what that had to do with barry o.
If I could I would fire all congress and start over. It is just not working with career politicians and that is not the way it was intended.
I am not completely in the dark as I have ran a business for thirty years now. I guess politics is just one of those things to me that a little is a lot! I have friends on both sides of the fence but they are not far right or left so we can talk. I won't be told how to vote by anyone though ! I know ya'll like the politics and that's ok. Sorry zip for the remarks, and please carry on.

No problem 482, i too am feed up with the political system in Wash. We vote for the people that make promises and then 2 to 3 yrs. they are curropted by the money for selling out. I personally think that they all should have limits, both Congress and the Senate of 8 yrs. max and take away the lifetime saleries that they automatically get of their salery. some people donot realise that every Senator or Congressman get his salery and free ins. for the rest of their life and that's BS, while we the people struggle to just get by on retiremant or SS. But as the atricle says we voted them in only to be doublecrossed.
