16. I would leave right now if I could.

It's not the President that's the problem, it's the Congress. Even if the President wins a second term we're still going to have this teabagger congress and nothing will continue to get done. I just don't see us getting the House back. Not with citizens united money crushing us in every race. We're going to be lucky to hold the Senate as well.

If Romney wins, is there a chance they'll release money and start doing the projects they've been holding back?

In most cases I would say yes because they'll want to take credit for bringing jobs back and getting the economy on track. But with the nutcases that are winning for them I'm not so sure. I think these guys are serious and would send us into a death spiral. You think things are bad now? This is nothing compared to what they'll do to us. I think we will literally see people starving in the streets and chaos on a grand scale. It will get ugly, real ugly.

It's not Romney that scares me, it's his sponsors.
