Here's a difference....for some reason, the HOR and US Senate seemed to really like Bill Clinton. I get the feeling that they don't really like Obama. I mean we're hearing less and less of about what a nice guy Obama is or how intelligent he is.
Besides that, fingers crossed that McCain really on some level would rather help bring Obama's policies down than stick to issues like the porous border that got him defeated in the presidential election.
We have to hope. It's probably the last chance the US has to regain our greatness.
My mindset has been that conservatism is in a “point of no return” status, since just after the November ‘06 election. Leftists will, still, be in power in a variety of places outside of Congress, no matter what happens on November 2, and judicial activism, political correctness, the “dumbing down” of the general public, political bias in the MSM/entertainment world, political indoctrination in government controlled schools throughout the world, political cheating,...will all be ongoing things that leftists do, in the remainder of ‘10 and beyond.
