"Let me also say that I remain distressed that the White House during this confirmation process, which overall went smoothly, failed to provide critical documents as part of the record that could have provided us with a better basis to make our judgment with respect to the nomination. This White House continues to stymie efforts on the part of the Senate to do its job. I hope with the next nominee who comes up for the Supreme Court that the White House recognizes that in fact it is its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us."

The 500 plus professional politicians with a death grip on power in Washington, need to be sent home or to prison, their decision.

Start over again.

There are methods to employ that would reboot the government. They're not pretty and no one seems to want to to do it.

Barring Civil WarII and a Revolution we will descend into chaos.

Americans have not the stomach for bloodshed as in the past for the good of the country.

Instead we willingly fight unending wars in unknown places without complaint.

Oh for heaven's sake, Cyni, your rhetoric is indistinguishable from the over-the-top BS that Lamebaugh spewed prior to Clinton's election.

Are you/we/the world better off today than we were eight years ago?

Of course not. And we'll be worse off after Obama too. The problem is the Federal government, not the stooge on display to make us think there's a president in office.

That doesn't exactly explain the wrist cutting that goes on here daily.

It doesn't explain the absolute self-inflicted throat slicing I see on any of the more partisan boards for any party.

Tragically, throat slicing was perhaps the second best option we had in the wake of the worst administration in American history.

Not to belabor a point, but every succeeding administration since Johnson has proven to be worse than the previous one. Seeing who and what Obama is appointing to various offices (not to mention his own egregious baggage), I expect he'll keep the pattern of being worse than his predecessors.

I ask this in all seriousness: How do people that support Obama turn on the "Ignore History" switch? I saw some otherwise intelligent Bush supporters do the same thing.

Just as we all knew that Bush would attack Iraq no matter what, it's quite plain that Obama will most likely attack Pakistan. Is that something that you choose not to see or does it just not matter?
