I read the following quote on Huffington Post (In, Rome Burns:

"You know who ends up losing at the end of the day?" Obama said about the latest dust-ups during a stop in Virginia. "It's not the Democratic candidate, it's not the Republican candidate. It's you, the American people, because then we go another year or another four years or another eight years without addressing the issues that matter to you. Enough."
I don't know what it will take - and I'm one of those who still trusts that Obama knows exactly what he is doing - but we need a b*tchslap in a major way. What is it gonna take for us to wake up and snap out of it? I believe that if the Republicans are allowed to steal this election like the last two, it is the end of our American experiment. Scientists (like me) and rational free thinkers really will not belong in this country anymore, as ignorance will have won. Well, for my part, I'm making calls for three hours tonight.
Here's to hope! :toast: (it's gotta be noon somewhere)
