im predicting obama's numbers will shoot up once health care reform passes and he gets the fuck out of iraq, and afghanistan, and closes the motherfucking guantanamo that he promised to close, AND job creation begins to pick up. it's going to be jobs, jobs, jobs for the next election.

thats not true. I have been talking to a lot of people on the street about this healthcare reform and it is not just a partisan issue.. many americans believe in the myth of meritocracy and they are even offended at the idea of sharing their tax dollars with others. People believe in the "help yourself and help nobody else" philosophy in America across party lines.. it is one of the most depressing things about living here, apathy.
and in regards to Guantanamo and Afghanistan, that is not necessarily partisan either, a lot of americans are scared of the people at Guantanamo and they still buy into the Bush era rhetoric that the war in Afghanistan stops terrorist attacks in US and so they believe wrongly that if we pull out or release the prisoners in Cuba then suddenly Osama bin Laden will attack and kill us all.
The most common and unifying cultural trait in America is ignorance and misinformation :(
