I tend to agree. I prefer a split as do many Americans I think which is why I keep warning everyone everynametaken Send a noteboard - 29/01/2010 02:34:21 AM
republican president/democratic congress.

Gridlock is highly under-rated.

I am never happy when either party is in control. Both need moderating influences.


who wants to see the GOP retake Congress in 2010 that they need to be careful for what they wish. If the GOP does retake Congress they risk securing a second term for Obama (whom they hate) as many Americans might shy away from electing both a GOP Congress AND President. It could play out different ways in 2010 like a split Congress in which I might be willing to consider a Republican President then but we'll just have to see come the 2010 elections just how much power shift there is. Oh, I'm drunk too so please ignore my rambling. ;)

He's as bad as listening to Bush, but for different reasons. LiterateDog - 28/01/2010 04:55:07 PM 655 Views
I'm sick of him too, but worried about what Congressional Democrats might do. Tom - 28/01/2010 05:12:44 PM 729 Views
