Can Obama do ANYTHING that the Republicans will give a chance, let alone approve of? It's coming to the point where if he wanted to go on television and tell people to vote for Republicans in the next election, they'd call it socialism and Rush Limbaugh would tell everyone to vote Democrat. I'm just so sick of this kind of easy black-and-white politics (again, from both sides, though it seems much uglier this term). Do you think there's any hope it's ever going to get better, or are we finally going to get to a point where we just assassinate every President on Inauguration Day?
