Another promise broken. Divide and try to conquer is what's happening now
for the sake of an election a year + a way. It's only getting worse.

For the sake of the country I'd like to see Obama take what's left of his term,
and as a true leader bring us back to a united nation. That would take a
selfless man who truly wants to put his country first and serve the American
people. Swell chance.

It'd also take completely dissolving the House and Senate, enacting term limits, putting limits on PACs and strict regulation on lobbying.

Our political system is broken from top to bottom and it's not because Obama hasn't delivered on most of his campaign promises and is a crappy domestic leader. This isn't something that just "popped up" in the last 3 years.

Debateable about his campaign promises and wether or not he's a
crappy leader.

However, the man has had 3 years, 2 of which he had control of the House
and Senate and did nothing to bring people together.
He imediately went to his own agenda of rushing HC, when the majority of the
country were against it.Same with the rush to the stimulus, and nice try to
rush for his secret jobs plan.
He started his campaign a few months ago, and I doubt he has the time
to actually do his job. He, his agenda and fund raising are the only things he has time for.
