Corrupt politicians

The interplay between Democrat and Republican is getting ridiculous. President Barack Obama is accused of being a tyrant, yet former President George W. Bush has done much to merit that distinction, as well.

Follow the money, the lobbyists and the politicians' votes. It's easy to make a distinction between where the money goes and who benefits.

My opinion is there isn't much difference between the two parties, though I would take an Obama presidency over the prior Bush presidency or a current John McCain one.
