Yeah money has a lotta power in Washington. Too much power. I'd like to see more campaign finance reform taking it away from them.

But, the idea that the individual has nothing to do with it is silly. There were better financed campaigns than Obama when he started to after the Democratic nomination. You read about McCain's campaign, and there was a point where he was driving himself to the airport and carrying his own luggage while hurrying to catch a plane to get to campaign stops he wanted to make.

any President/Congress make an easy target for critiques of government in general.



The AP was just reporting facts. When you're overriding desire is just to tell everyone what they want to hear, you tell the Liberals how awful the Republicans are, then you tell the independents how earnestly you're trying to be bipartisan, and you've just contradicted yourself. The AP wasn't just out looking for a way to be controversial by criticizing the government. They were just reporting facts.

But, I guess if your effort is to blindly dismiss any faults Obama has, the entire playing board would look all the same color anyway.
