None of those things weren't equally true in prior administrations, but you didn't hear ace or like-thinkers bitching about it when their guy was behind the big desk.

Obama is something that is recent, the fact that government is too intrusive in our lives has been a major concern of my for about 20 years. I have had that concern regardless of the political party controlling Washington, I was a Libertarian for many of the past 20 years. At least with the Republicans there was some pretense that they supported less government, Obama/Pelosi/Reid just take it over the top.

I thought my question was simple.
"She stepped down as governor. Was that the right thing for her to do or not?"

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's (R-Texas) announcement that she will resign her seat this fall sets off a rare Senate special election next spring.
"The actual leaving of the Senate will be sometime -- October, November -- that, in that time frame," Hutchison told Mark Davis, a conservative talk radio host in Dallas, this morning.
Hutchison had long been expected to resign from the Senate to focus full time on her challenge to Gov. Rick Perry (R) in next March's primary although some national Republicans held out hope that she might stay in the Senate. (She doesn't have to resign to run thanks to Fix Political Hall of Fame member Lyndon Baines Johnson.)

I don't know about you, but I respect a person who is honest and isn't just going through the motions. If you want politicians to fake it while their heart and mind is somewhere else, I guess you get what you deserve - fake politicians.
