Here is the reality: If your belief systems are primarily in line with the Republicans, you hate what Obama wants to do. If your belief systems are primarily in line with the Democrats, you like what Obama wants to do. If you're in the middle, then you hate some stuff and like other things.

Welcome to our two party system.

Anybody who thinks that one person can turn around the biggest recession in 70 years in a year is completely unrealistic. Most Dems I know who are frustrated are angry at a lack of progress. Most Reps I know who are angry think it's too much too fast.

Isn't it great that we live in a country where we are allowed to express our opinions without worrying about being arrested? That's what makes this country great.

But I do have some questions:
Why is a socialist education system ok but a socialist health care system is not?

Why would moving to a more competitive health care system be considered socialistic? Personally, I would love to have a choice regarding health care rather than have it be in my employer's hands.

Why is it ok to rack up trillions in national debt to fight a foreign war but not to meet the medical needs of our people?

Those are some of things I don't understand and would really like to hear answers that make sense to me.

I'd also point out that, personally, Ms. Average Middle Class here has already had a larger cut with the stimulus package than I had with the Bush tax cuts.
