Until such time as the priority changes from the rabid partisan politics to people in office doing what is right for the country and we the people....nothing or anybody will change the entrenched business as usual in Washington.

What the incumbents have going for them is that we the people are fickle, lazy and permissive of just about anything as long as it doesn't affect me. Hence what we are witnessing is what we allow.

It will likely require a major disaster of significant magnitude, touching millions to unite this nation again......OR REAL leadership....we need the change that Obama promised and got elected on...undoing business as usual. I think we tend to forget, he did not win by a landslide...far from it. And I do not think he can win in 2012, regardless of the opposition candidate, because of his sterling track record of not doing what he said he was going to do. I believe that will swing the election against him....we can only hope we the people who bought what he was selling last time will not do so again. Why or how could they ?

In any case he is an incumbent and is to not be voted for based on that alone....
