"at a time when our nation could really use some healing and bipartisan cooperation"

I hope that's just another of your little political jokes Genie!!

What your country could do with, is a large measure of fury about being treated like fuckin' idiots.
The very worst part is that you all seem to know that the political system is rotten, yet after being comprehensively fucked, you follow your leader Mr Obama, roll over and invite them to fuck you again!

I'm beginning to think that the "right" in America are the ones with the balls......and I include Sarah Palin in that.

When will it ever dawn on you that change never has been and never will be served up to you by the US Corporate political system?
They will use any trick in the book to convince you otherwise....race....gender....finance....terrorism, but as proved by the Anti Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movements, the initiative has to be taken by the American people themselves.

Forget token black men or token women listen, to what the bastards say, watch what they do......always remember what they are and where they came from.......You want change?.....break the fuckin' mould!.....Ake
