Just to be clear, the views that you (and Shoju) more or less agree with include, or exclude, the one where the reason government is stalled is that Obama is an arrogant speechifier with an excessively strong agenda that he is unwilling to compromise on?
Because that's the one that's got me wondering if I live on a different planet from Mav.
