Reply #24: I really think he might. The next president is going to have to

[Ravy]

preside over some very unpopular things. Issues that are unpopular with the Democrats and everyone else.

This nation is way to screwed up at the moment. How can you deliver healthcare without raising the taxes to do it, when we need to raise taxes to lower the deficit to get the economy back in order as well. Both camps are saying that the Iraq timelines are best case scenarios. Dems will be howling for the prosecution of the Bush regime, but it can't be given the attention it needs with the house burning down.

I think it is likely that the next president will be a one-termer. People are so polarized that they have no patience or tolerance for these big things to happen. How long of a honeymoon did Pelosi have with us?
