So basically, most American voters are USELESS at choosing POTUS's.

Well duh.


And, imo, the next one, whomever it is and from whichever party, will be as least as useless as these two at 'running' America.

Wake up America, the fault is not those in the White House...it's yours for putting them there.

Considering the alternatives, Obama was the correct choice.

As far as I know the Bush name is deeply and truly New England in origin. He goes up to Maine in the summer and has a big house up there. Bush family is new england family. I lived in New England, but my family is not in New England. I sort of throw Bush in with John Kerry, Mitt Romney, Jill Stein, all these New England politicians who I have come to dislike heavily. I think New England should join Canada and take these people along, even if it means extraditing Bush from his Texas ranch.

I liked yer description of Bush so much that I went back and "liked" it. My opposition to joining Canada would largely "center" around my disgust for the Montreal Canadiens hockey team. I might be willing to support a secession by Texas.

You left no options for those who don't lean right or left. That's the huge flaw in your poll.

Interesting. I live in New England, and IMO there is no similarity between Kerry, Romney & the Bushes.

Jill Stein was actually raised in Illinois, not New England. She didn't find her way to New England until she went to Harvard.

Thanks, but this New Englander has no interest in joining Canada.

How come you left all of the Kennedys off your list?

Kennedys can join the list. I universally wrote off New England politicians. I was up there involved with the Green Party and did like marches with Jill Stein against the tar sands pipeline into Portland. In the end I became disgusted with the political moves of the Green Party, which is basically a new england party. I would rather support the Sierra Club than those Green types. In Europe they are already finished as a self-promoting elite that salts the streets that childen sled on and supports male-hating feminists who want all men to have low-self esteem.

In fact, New England is really no different than the south. That fact, and after all the low-self esteem with people down south thinking its better educated and better for liberals in the northeast. Then you have to see how poor and anti-intellectual some people in New England are with backward transportation systems once you leave Boston. The south seems more advanced.

In what universe is a Jr Senator, ex-Community organizer Progresseive with a paper thin resume EVER the better alternative ?

We needed a competent leader, not a media pop icon creation.

There are REAL consequences to elections, especially Presidential elections.
