Lot's already said... late post... who cares anyway? :-) Let's really be honest. All previous administrations have collectively led to where we are now. All made promises they couldn't or didn't intend to keep. Each administration inherits the problems that the one preceding it failed to or was powerless to fix. Each has screwed up big time either though action or inaction. Injustices to common citizens and elsewhere in the world happened during each. The poor and needy have not seen their circumstances change demonstrably for the better, whether under a Democrat or Republican president. The middle class has largely seen their standard of living erode to the point that health insurance is frequently a burden or forgone. The wealthy and privileged have gotten wealthier regardless of the party in power or person in executive office.
It's all a big joke. Stereotypically (but I think largely true), the conservative party politicians tend to be fat cats pretending not to be immoral, and the liberal party politicians while ostensibly practicing a kind of morality some would call immoral, pretend not to be fat cats. War has rarely if ever been a proper solution to anything and when it has been seen as moral and just, it's usually because there was a failure to act, or improper action earlier. Amputation is seen as a good thing when it saves a person, but not preferable to proper medical attention before things reach that point. Environment Poverty Education Health Care Crime When's the last time a meaningful improvement has been seen across the board? Isolated sucesses yes, skewed statistics yes, general failure yes. If things got fixed, where would the issues for the next elections come from?
