Listening to Obama speak and I'm grateful to hear him not just take the blame!  Afterall, it was the Republicans who weren't working with the Dems and then a lot of the stuff that was said was coming from people who don't tell the truth!   I also want to say taht when I hear it's because of older people voting that the measure 74 for instance didn't pass.  What?  I know of several people on Medical Marijuana and they're around 60 to 70 yr old and I'm over 60 myself and I voted for it.  I think a lot of us over 60 are more liberal then a lot of people and it's unfair to generalize an age-group.  I've also seen some young people who believe the lies from the TeaBaggers and talk show people.  I hope our country gets smarter!   AND Obama is doing the best he can with what he's got and it's gona take him time!
