52. The "run like a business" idea of the Republicans should be an easy jettison.

Were it not for the change to "News" for profit, we'd have no trouble tossing aside failed and damaging business models which have turned practically the entire globe into third world states. We're next. Romney made it clear in his 47% video. We can never replay that part about Chinese factories enough.

Meanwhile, we have to hope our president can out maneuver a very ignorant and dangerous Republican Party. And he doesn't get the back-up he needs owing to our number of gun zealots in the Democratic Party. I believe the push to proper gun regulation and oversight with "teetch", essential now as well as a heavy push for the Public Option in Obamacare.

If we can get the message out past the news media, we may get someplace good.

Good luck Mr. President. We're here for back-up.
