Thats why we havent voted for a member of Congress (Senate or House) for 100 years...we (the electorate) prefer benign governors (Carter, Reagan, Clinton , Bush) who were never in the position of having to vote on controversial national issues.
This year, there is no choice. We will elect a sitting member of Congress. I know which one I want in the White House.
host..I dont believe that Obama (and others) acted in a manner that was clueless or pandering.
Where I would agree is the extent to which Bush/Cheney (and Repub Congress) have politicized the "threat" for ideological purposes.
