@Solarfactor - A Republican President never gave me health care, couldn't catch Bin Laden.I like the cap on Wall Street and holding Bank execs accountable. The Pension Relief act.Closing offshore Tax safes and Credt loopholes.Credit card reform. Promoted Internet freedom. Expanded loan programs for small American businesses.Increased funding for land-grant college.

He's everything but a Republican President and the list can go much further.

Have a wonderful day. :-)
