If it's his policies you disagree with: here's the beauty of America's Checks and Balances Policy and how Congress works. A prez just can't make a law and it's there. It starts as a bill...goes to the House first...and ALL it's committes, get's debated on the floor, makes any neccessary revisions, then debated again, then voted on--then the same exact thing happens with Senate--only because there's more equal power and not as centralized in terms of structure--any Senator could make the process longer for everyone by deciding to fillibuster a bill. Then they vote. And send it to the Prez...the prez can choose to sign or veto or make them do it all again....if he vetoes, congress if they feel neccessary can overide his veto.

So for any Anti-obamas on here that dislike him b/c of his policy ideas I'm sure everyone policy he makes will not end up as he's described on the campaign trail. Yes we the democrats have the majority in the House and picked up a little more seats in the Senate--but in the Senate often the minority party gets just an equal say if not more in the house becasue there's so few and unlike the House can filibuster. So they'll wanna reform his ideas. And 2 --he really wants to alleviate partianship and has worked closely with some big time republicans like McCain and Lugar and is consideringf putting some in his cabinet. Which is a reason why Biden was an excellent VP choice--He's still a democrat but NEVER refrains from constructive criticism and critques of his colleagues. Was never an ass-kisser for his party in lamest terms.

So Rayne and others--don't worry you won't be totally dissatisfied, I'm sure.
