Lara, I know you don't live in the USA so its understandable that you wouldn't know all the details of Obama's first term as Prez. That is not meant to be a rude or demeaning statement. The argument that Republicans kept O from getting anything done in his term is a little ridiculous bc the Democrats had control of both the House and Senate for two years of his term. That means he had two years to get a lot accomplished with little interference from the R's. It's only since R's took the House in 2010 that there has been some "interference" if you will. I think PMing is better for debating - these threads are for the wallowers to wallow together and the celebrators to celebrate together. /off my soap box now
