[QUOTE="Jones, post: 134934, member: 4805"] Well things are certainly looking better today than they did yesterday. Nowhere near perfect, mind you, as we are still stuck in this miserable two party system where the voters are all too often offered only the illusion of choice, but at least some balance has been restored and one party no longer has complete control of both the executive and legislative branches. This is much closer to what the founding father's intended and at the end of the day it's much better for the country. Getting rid of Rumsfeld was a good move on Bush's part, and it was apparently something he was planning on doing regardless of how the midterms panned out. This would seem to demonstrate that he is not quite as clueless as some people think on just how badly things are going in Iraq. I was impressed with his choice of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gates"]Bob Gates[/URL] to replace Rumsfeld, the guy is not a partisan hack or an idealogue and appears to have the right skillset (CIA backround) to deal with the problems we are facing in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In the short term at least, I am cautiously optimistic. [/QUOTE]
