		<description>Good evening SplendidMarbles:)

I love how people put labels on others.  Obama truly is more moderate than liberal.  Kucinich is liberal.  I can&#039;t help responding first to your Ameriman7.  Liberal is not a dirty word or a bad thing.  It means that they stand up for the middle class and look out for the people who are at poverty level.  Now if that is considered a bad thing, WOW, people need to wake up and start considering the American citizens that have lost their jobs and their homes.  

Sorry to go off on a tangent but that kind of rhetoric is what got this country in this mess to begin with.

Splendid to answer your question, I don&#039;t think you have anything to worry about.  I&#039;m not saying Obama is perfect, absolutely not, I haven&#039;t met the perfect candidate for President other than Kucinich and he was out of the race early.  

Part of the problem also, is we have the worse Congress we have ever witnessed.  Believe me, I have some Democrats that need to be kicked to the curb in this election also.  Pelosi, Reed, &amp; Steney Hoyer - which the grassroots organizations are running a great campaign against him.  

I&#039;m not a person that only thinks the Republicans are at fault.  They are the majority of the problem but, the Blue Dog Democrats also voting to the right made too many errors in judgement.  FISA being the biggest mistake &amp; Voting for the Bailout.  

I agree we need to take special interest groups out of the pockets of Congressmen.  That is part of what is killing our democracy.  As we watch the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and there is a squeeze play going on the middle-class.

History has proved time and time again (based on facts)people prosper under a Democrat President.  You can look up the statistics.  The economy is healthy and you have job creation, that is what makes for a well balanced society.

Sorry to be so wordy, Splendid.  Obama wants to unite not divide.  That is something this country needs more of.  Good Post :)</description>
