I would like to make a general thread for the discussion of politics, if more specific threads need to be made later, those will be added.
I'd like to have a mature discussion about how you think Obama has done in his first 100 days, if this thread changes topics within politics, that is also fine.
I believe Obama has done a fairly okay job, but I don't know how he is going to hold to his promises. More later on this topic, I have to go.:)
Okay, I'm back, well, overall I haven't been very impressed with Obama, simply because he hasn't brought around really any change to washington, he has not come through on any of his promises (in my opinion) yet, but he does still have a long time to come through. I do hope he succeeds.
I can't believe that Senator Specter switched to the democratic party, he voted republican most of the time and supported his party. I wonder if he did it because it would give the dems fillibuster-proof majority? Or maybe he truly wanted to go democrat and believes that that party is more inline with his personal set of values and beliefs?
