And just what are you suggesting? He'll be out of office soon enough, he can't be re-elected (again). There is plenty of blame to go around in Washington for the mess we are in. To call for his head at this late hour (aside from being treasonous) is absurd. God bless America and your first amendment rights...

Frustration fueled the poem. Treasonous? Not in the least.

I still say Americans should boycott voting.  Maybe it would do nothing to the present nightmare, but at least it might prevent another one from taking its place.

Michael, you bring up a good point. Of the people that CAN vote less than 25% do. In a way we are already boycotting. I'd like to see a box on the ballot that says NONE OF THE ABOVE.  If that gets the majority of the popular vote we get to have a re-election.
