180 degrees from a article I saw in the Honolulu Star Advertiser the other day at the library by some Scripps-Howard political writer since way back. Her piece came with a 'toon strip with a big "2012-No Hope No Change No Promises"..like she was writing for idiots who didn't bother to do research and know exactly how much change, hope, and promises have been fullfilled already with what Pres Obama was handed from bush-cheney and the vicious opposition who want the country to fail so that it falls on the President.
I do appreciated reality based articles like this..thanks, azmouse!
