76. Ehrm... Well... Ah... Looks like not only is Timmeh President Obama's first choice.
He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Okay... Where do I stand with the Current Administration?

1. 'Single Payer' Healthcare is off-the-table.
2. Private Banks or Bust philosophy.
3. We're still in Iraq.
4. Timmeh and Summers are tight with the Prez.
5. Indian Lobbyists have more sway on H1-Bs than American Citizens.
6. Goldman Sachs is golden.
7. 'Pay for Performance' is the way.

Okay, I'm done. I have nothing in common with these people. Before someone replies with the stock 'He said all of this during the election.'
No, most of it is exactly the opposite of what was said during the elections and on top of that neither Obama nor Hillary were my first choice, but, since the primaries where I live aren't until the bitter end... I'm effectively disenfranchised in the primary process. Would McCain have been worse? Sure. But, at this point it's pure speculation.

:eyes:

I'm so done.
