When will the democrats and Obama start listening to the people? 4 elections now and 4 republican wins should be a strong message to Obama to stop the non-sense or his turn will come in 2012 to pack his bags and move out of the White House! Looks as if he will throw a bunch of democrats under the bus and packing for home in Nov, 2010!
