Not voting this year
Brother, I believe you are missing my point. It is the duty of the President and Congress to work for the greater effect of this nation, so the only way to do that is to work together. Everyone of them has been as petty as a spurned lover and not have given a full honest effort at doing their duty. Yet, to me I see a person with great ideas that has been hamstrung by those who would rather put road blocks in front of him for nothing further than to stop him and without putting forth a plan of their own...that maybe if explained civilly they could come to a consensus.
Like you say, work together.
How many Budgets did those Hon. send to the Senate and White House and the O & Reid said No, threatened No? you assume this is all one way. Where is the President working with congress? How many times have we watched soundbites where the O demands Congress do as he wishes, where he uses incendiary rhetoric like saying congress holds the American People Hostage? you define working together funny
Where did I say the responsibility does not lay with both sides? Congress holds the purse strings. I blanket the blame on all, but stated my reasons for voting for the CinC as he has delivered on the big and some of the little. Not to the effect I'd prefer, but it still came.
What "big" has he delivered on? Obamacare? That's a disaster that had virtually no Republican support, and the majority of the population is against. "We have to pass it to see what's in it." Unemployment? "If we spend all this money unemployment won't get above 8%", which it has been, almost since he said the words. Close Guantanimo? Transparency? Bipartisianship? What happened to his "healing"? The country is more divided now than at anytime in recent memory. What has he delivered on, specifically?
What happened to healing? Have you heard of the birther movement? And the Affordable Healthcare Act...It will help but it's ugly. Guantanamo...that's one of those "oh, now I get it" moments.

I see quite a few here will choose not to vote. I used to feel as you do. I thought, and still do, that if neither candidate deserves my vote, neither will get it. I also thought a vote not cast would be an incentive for candidates to find out what the non voting public was after. I have since realized they will never try to get the vote of those that don't vote, only appeal to the minority that do vote, and can be swayed.
Vote. Find someone you would be proud to see in the office and write them in if you have to but vote.
This is a no brainer. It will not be Obama.
"The birthed movement"? What the hell is that? And Obamacare is worse than nothing, which is why so many are disgusted with it. Nobody disagrees that something needed to be done but not just for the case of saying, "see, we did something". What's been done has been like promising to help someone lose weight-and then cutting their legs of. Technically you delivered on your promise but I doubt anybody would be happy with it.
Either going to vote Johnson, or write in Ron Paul.
