War on Capitol Hill?

A Republican majority in Congress would mean "hand-to-hand combat" on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy, President Obama warned Wednesday.

"The reason we won in 2008 is because young people, African Americans, Latinos -- people who traditionally don't vote in high numbers -- voted in record numbers. We've got to have that same kind of turnout in this election," he said. "If we think that we can just vote one time, then we have a nice party at Obama's inauguration, and then we can kind of sit back and suddenly everything's going to change – that's just not how it works."

The real problem with the assertion is that it's just as likely to be the opposite of the truth. Both parties and sadly most politicians are completely untrustworthy. They are more interested in lining their own pockets and staying in power than helping the people. Where are the Washingtons and the Lincolns today?
