If he brought Chicago style politics to the Whitehouse, we would have single payer healthcare and a booming green energy industry and every other thing he promised on the campaign trail and Joe Lieberman would be on the bottom of the Potomac with a pair of cement shoes.

He didn't say he was going to keep Bush policies in place and even extend them. OK I got that wrong. He did say he was going to bankrupt the energy companies and the southern states are feeling it. We just thought he was going after coal. I did know he was going to bring Chicago style politics to the Whitehouse while he said he was bringing openness. > What is your baseline, a politician doing everything they said they'd > do while campaigning?

I want him to be a regular guy that has a really difficult job. He's thinks this job is cake for him. He's on vacation half the time. More so than Bush. At least Bush worked during his vacations.
