31. How about I just call on him to lead instead first - which we elected him to do

He and others in government seem to have forgotten who gave them their jobs.

He has eroded trust in his base (republicans would hate him regardless) and carried on things we elected him to stop. Next time a dem candidate tells me he/she are going to do something I am guessing no one will believe it and instead of voting for a candidate we will be voting against another one.

And personally, I think I would impeach most of congress and the president all at once and start the hell over with people who won't sell us down the river to big business and the MIC.

Yeah, he is better than bush - but not on everything.
