For years I was a chevy man, especially favoring the toyota/gmc hybridized products and their vastly more fuel efficient designs.

I am now a FORD man, (except for the Saturn).

Civil Service was reformed, wasn’t it? The services being pandered to and peddled by president Obama are in no way civil, and no service at all. Healthcare is going the way of Social Security, subsidized by the young, without regard for long term viability of which there is no viable answer under government, just a fading barely viable beast under government’s foot.

The approach to governance displayed by the current administration is in my opinion a peculiar mix of cynical, unethical and discredited approaches. The only thing that can be said in its defense is that it is more transparent (blatent?) than the former Corporate Political mix if only because the number of players is shrinking. And no, I don’t think that is a defense.
