    I think the issue of affordable health care for the masses could have been addressed in a different manner, but I feel it needed to be addressed. The thing that I dislike about the discussion of Obama Care is that the talking heads and politicians who decry it never offer up their own plan to solve the problem.

    I don't have much skin in the fight, I've always worked for organizations that had health care plans available, and I also am eligible (and using) TriCare.

    That doesn't change the fact that my vision for America is one where a sudden catastrophic event, heart attack, cancer, falling off a roof, shouldn't spell financial ruin for you and your family.

    Obama and Romney put forward one way to accomplish it. I don't think it is the best, but it's not the worst way to skin the cat either. Like I said, let the folks who are using the media to tell us how bad it sucks tell us their plan.

    I've been fairly successful in life being an obstinate prick because when I dig my heels in on a problem, I have a way to fix it, I don't bitch until I have an idea that I think will work.

    In terms of the worst President that I've studied, LBJ, hands down. Civil rights, Great Society, Viet Nam were the issues on his plate. He didn't do any of them justice, he willfully followed a policy in Viet Nam that cost thousands of unnecessary lives lost in order to fool the American public.

    Thinking that who's in office makes that much of a difference is perhaps more dangerous.
    The entire system is so wrought with corruption, special interests, lobbyists and everything else thrown in that what should be a simple straightforward and beautiful thing: "Representation for the People Elected by the People", (how much easier could it be?) has become a grotesque travesty of staggering epic proportions.

    I mean this in a totally non-threatening and benevolent way: Perhaps the BEST thing that could ever happen to us is if all Washington politicians, bureaucrats together with all their special "friends" were to be in the same building on the same day at the same time, and a big fat kaboom went off wiping all of them away, we'd have to start from scratch.
    We might stand a chance. Just maybe.
    But to even suggest anything like that.....is the NSA reading this...?

    It is not that Obama is the worst president but the fact that it will take decades to un-do all that he and his merry men have done in his short 8 years.

    That is the real legacy of this moron.

    Coupled with trying to undo the eight years of damage from the previous moron we've got a lot of cleaning up to do. And that's just the last two morons. We had a few more before them.

    True but the damage and debt done by Obama is much worse than anything Bush did.

    Bush might indeed have started the whole debt climb and bailout nonsense but Obama put the icing on this ugly cake. He took it to a point where we might not ever recover.

    In fact...I'd say that if we get 4-8 years of Hillary...America will probably never come back.

    Let's just agree that the Boomer generation has done one ****ed up job of providing political leadership for this country. The previous generation had its share of turds but there were a few decent sorts amongst the lot. The Boomers? So far, we're batting a big goose egg.

    The Obama aftermath is still very much in the making. His incompency might never be fully know after the potential damage the next president brings.
