Need 'change' from two-party system
Senator Obama wants to blame the economy and the last eight years on President Bush. While Bush's wars haven't aided the economy, other than defense contractors, there are 100 senators and over 400 representatives that were there, too. Obama was there for four of the years he blames on Bush. Other then run for president during those years, what did he do to prevent the problems he blames on others? The Democrats controlled congress but did nothing to turn the economy around, If we end up with a one-party federal government like we have in Illinois how will we see any change. Real change will come only when there is opposition to the two-party system and the regular "Joe" can afford to participate in the process.
