I am sure a lot of repubs don't like Mitt, and some DEMS that don't like Obama.


I certainly wish we had more legitimate choices than the two major ones we have.

His Bank bailout and then not going after the illegal activities of banks I hate.
He is bought and paid for by the banks. He has been very weak in trying to compromise with wacos that now own GOP. And the GOP turn around and use that against him.
But he is better than Romney so that is what sucks.

The terms of the bail out was during his tenure.
The fact that the negotiation was towards not having any sort of conditions on the borrowing bothered me.

In fact, during that time I was advocating for a voucher system for banks, which is money used to prop them up can only be used for lending. Instead, they used that money for more consolidation which is not what we needed.

Was pretty ridiculous.
