Truths that we need to remember on Election day...

... are here.

The fact is that there's been a lot of crap spewed about what the government's been doing since the last Presidential election. While there are some things Obama's done/not done that I really do not like (most notably he re-authorized Patriot rather than let that obscenity die a swift death), he's done a lot of things as well as could be expected (given that he *IS* a politician, not the Pure Hero that some of the prior voters hoped for and that, truthfully, would have crashed and burned INSTANTLY after election). This list points out a lot of the complete and utter MISinformation that's put around to make him (and his associated political allies) look bad.

I'm not particularly in favor of one party; in fact, I want ALL the parties abolished. But as long as this is an election focused on two parties, I want the least-damaging one to remain in place.

I don't know much about most political things, but as it's my field and I've been stuck studying it incessantly since it was passed, I do feel I can repeat what professionals in the field are saying: Obama's new health care reform, while not perfect, is an incredibly good thing. The former system was not set up to be able to control costs, the extremely fragmented free market has been trying and failing for a while, and this just might reduce a few costs and reduce uninsurance.
