In general President Obama's policies have been very, very skewed and very, very extreme. Like on healthcare for example, I don't think that trying to ram healthcare through was a smart idea politically, because he wasted a lot of capital and now he doesn't have any of that same capital with even his own party that he used to have.

Garrison Keillor

Since I've got on the Internet, it's opened a whole world of wasted time for me. My wife says she's an Internet widow.
