Generally, I believe most politicians enter politics to do public service.
IMO, our entire government is blinded by their power, do not truly represent the people. Overall, their problem is they cannot agree on anything. For I speculate, if they all agreed they want the "best" for the all American citizens, health care would be reformed.
Regarding our WAR leadership, our political leaders would be wise to consult and adhere to our military leadership. Where is Colin Powell? (dont care, but we need his leadership)
FYI: I'm out of town until May 13th. I would like to stay away from this site, but I find it hard
