Obama and no Checks & Balances
| Tue, 10-28-2008 - 12:53pm |
Is anyone else worried that Obama probably will win the presidency, the Democrats very likely will have control over both houses of Congress, and there might be enough votes to break the filibuster? I would be OK if one or two of these factors happened, but not all three. We will have no Checks & Balances. I would feel this way whether the Republicans or the Democrats had power. No party ever should be this dominant and have this much power. Is anyone else worried about the potential loss of our Checks & Balances?

I like the checks and balances of our government.
I'm sorry he's not the same, but I've heard that story before.
How old was your SO when he went to war?
Thanks! I have to say that I don't know nearly as much as I should or could when it comes to tax issues as I have had very little experience with paying my own taxes. That part of politics bores me, even though I know it's very important. I guess I'll learn, right? : )
My SO is a history teacher and his sister is getting her doctorate in political science so I'm surrounded by politics.
