2012 can't come soon enough. It's Ronald Reagan coming after the one termed and failed presidency of Jimmy Carter. Incredible how this analogy works.
He begins around the 10th min. And starts talking about my interest, foreign policy, around the 23rd min.
I know where my vote is going 2 years from now. It's amazing - the Dem's had the opportunity to dominate for at least a decade post-Bush but Pelosi and her cohorts in Congress, along with this inexperienced, incompetent, and inept President have really screwed it all up. Theme tune for the liberals should be "Where Did It All Go Wrong"

Honestly mate, you need to stop drinking shandy before you go to bed. Please tell me why Obama is good. Is he good because he gave the US health care that the majority reject? Is he good because that health care legislation will help bankrupt the US? Is he good because he gives terrorists miranda rights? Is he good because he's increased the deficit more than Bush did in his 8 years? Is he good because he has broken/is breaking promises of ending wars in Iraq, closing Gitmo, and raising taxes? Is he good because unemployment is still high and higher than what was expected at this point? Is he good because the stimulus package failed? Is he good because he went on an apology tour? Is he good because he doesn't show leadership in the face of a crisis (failed bombings, oil spill). Is he good because he indulged in shady (health care passage) and potentially illegal (Sestak scandal) politics after campaigning on being transparent? Is he good because he reduces the concept of MAD by not employing missile defense and engaging in nuclear posturing? Is he good because he's letting Iran go nuclear without doing a damn thing about it? Is he good because he refuses to do anything about illegal immigration? Oh. Right. He can read from a teleprompter and say "change" and "hope" several times. That's why he's good. Silly me. Just so you know, he's at an all time low in Gallup -- 44% approve, 48% disapprove. How the mighty has fallen. So much for The Messiah. We need a leader, not a politician (written by the next president himself: www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2010-06-10-column10_ST_N.htm). Worst president since Carter.

Eh? Where did I mention anything about Obama. I don't claim to know lots about American politics, however from an outsiders point of view all I can say is that if come the next election the electorate decide that Obama has to go, and the only alternative to him is Mitt Romney then I feel sorry for your country. The guy sounds and looks like he's stuck in the 1950's.

The majority don't always know whats good for them. There was quite a large opposition to our NHS as it was being formed, the vast majority would not want to be without it now though.
