Nov 2012

We have a good chance of having huge majorities in the house and senate in 2014. Once we have control of the house and senate, Obama will be able to accomplish a lot (I'm hoping we get a permanent assault weapons and handgun ban installed by the end of Obama's term).

Once Obama's term is over, we need to get another liberal president in control so the right doesn't screw up all of Obama's hard work.
