Jack,
What a great transfer of power our forefathers provided for us! There are certainly some things that 230+ years of experience have shown us that should be updated however:
1. We need to dump the electoral college. To win the popular vote and lose the election? That’s just wrong.
2. Just as there is a minimum age to run for POTUS, we should; set a maximum age for Presidential candidates too.
3. The election process is too long - Obama has been running for POTUS almost as long as he’s been a United States Senator. What about the people of Illinois who elected him to the senate? Don’t they deserve better representation? Candidates should resign from their current political office when running for POTUS and not have the consolation of going back to their old job.
4. Have an integrated, hacker-proof voting system that is universally used by all states. Elections cannot be compromised - this isn’t the Middle East.
5. Limit campaign spending for all offices. It’s ridiculous the amount of money that is spent on Presdential and Congressional races. You should do a post-election report on the aggregate amount of money that was spent just for these races. I bet that number would turn some heads.

Some other questions: Will Hillary run against Obama in 2012? Will Palin have any significance in 2012? Who else will rise to leadership in the republican party?

Love it. KFP 2012. Start campaigning now. LIke we talked about on the phone, now we all need to back up Obama and support his decisions. Americans support their president. We will do the same. Congrats, Pres. Obama.

We don't support his decisions just because people are too dumb to elect him! I for one will not support the liberal agenda. Therefore, KFP 2012!!!!!
We have to support our President, unless you dont vote at all, then you have to shut up, hold on and enjoy the ride.
