Do any of us remember common sense? I am a earthly Dr. Spock when it comes to logic. I don't believe the government has our best interest at hand, and I believe we should keep tabs on them. I don't hate Obama or his ideas, but his common sense and logic are very out there. Government healthcare would be nice, but it is not monotarily or logically within reach. A 300,000 dollar house would be great, but common sense tells me it's not going to happen. Just something to think about.
