It really is pretty simple.

Can I get an "Amen!" over here, brothers and sisters?

I think this thread is hovering near the "Lock Cliff" now.

I'm pretty sure that none of us want him re-elected, but we should not forget that our senators and representatives are the true protectors of the Constitution. We are a federated republic (the oldest surviving federation, in fact!), and we should strive to remember that. Sometimes I think we let other people pull our strings too hard, and make us focus on the president too much.

And in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."

I think the "scandal," as it were, was the president's presumption of re-election, not the war preparedness plans.

Let us all hope and pray that our congress actually acts like a real congress, should he win re-election.

Then again, if the GOP can't win reelection in this election year, I'd say it's high time to declare the GOP completely irrelevant. Seriously. Massive unemployment, massive debt, massive scandals, and one of the most arrogant (and inept) president in history. If this can't be won, then the system is rigged to never let the GOP win the presidency again.
