FWIW, I like seeing both parties represented in Congress and in the Executive office. Idealist, yes, but it forces all sides to negotiate and compromise if they want to get anything done.

You sound like my husband. He thinks Clinton got the most done when he didn't have the Congress behind him.
As for EW, who cares what happens with unions in South Africa, that's like comparing apples and bananas. If you want to criticize the unions, use examples from the good old USA. We have plenty of unions here...I'm sure you can find examples if you try hard enough. By the way, for all the bad you can find about unions, they have done a lot of good for workers including improving the safety of workplaces, bringing wages to liveable standards and provided a voice for workers in negotiations when their employers have all the power. You know that employees do have grievances that are valid, right? With that, I will conceded that there are abuses, and that unions don't work for everyone.
