    AMEN. 42 of our National Parks are at risk for oil drilling, 12 already have it. Obama stepped up to fight more arctic drilling but turned around and gave oil companies the right to lease even more park land to drill. I love him but that was bad. Overall though, if his environmental proposals are adopted by Congress, including today's major climate control act, maybe we would finally be getting somewhere

    Obama's presidency is the reason I quit voting. I won't get fooled again!

    We're never going to have perfect. Perfect is the enemy of the good. If you are disappointed, perhaps your expectations were too high? Obama had some failures, but he had some solid successes. We all know there's no such thing as a Knight in Shining Armor in politics. But I'd rather have the the person with MY vision wearing the tarnished armor.

    I dunno... I think bad is the enemy of good.

    +1 I think continuing to believe in these horrible leaders is the enemy of the good, if we can't even call these bad leaders like Obama bad, which they are, can't even call a spade a spade, that's the enemy of the good. It's bad enough we're ruled by monstrous evil without pretending we like it.

    So just guess better next time. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

    Doing nothing is not an option.

    I just see voting as futile, counterproductive, and a waste of time. So I would rather do something constructive.
