Hello,
Thank you for your article. I think you make some worthwhile points, but also tiptoe around what I see as the key issue here: President Obama has somewhat solidified in peoples' minds that our presidency perhaps does not hold much real power. From the half measure healthcare bill to no banks being broken up to no one in power being put in the slammer for defrauding America well, sad realities are setting in for our country. A related sad reality that I would have encouraged you to point out that flavors everything: the divide between the 'two Americas' is huge and growing and nothing is being done about this.
Kind Regards
