This shouldn't matter if you're running for reelection, or another office. To run for office, you shouldn't be holding an elective office. You can run for as many terms as you wish, just not consecutively or without a break in between. Solution — Politicians should be prohibited running for office while holding office.

You know, so they don't have to constantly keep campaigning and fundraising and can "get our business done." Yeah Right! If they hadn't been over-reaching on everything else they'd be grasping at this one now too. It's coming though, always had been the original goal. more tweaking of the McLame Campaign Finance BS… You know, so they don’t have to constantly keep campaigning and fundraising and can “get our business done.” Yeah Right!

And the US taxpayers have to pick up the costs for his transportation? Is that fair? . Also, the US Senate is shut down for half the day so they can prepare for Demo Fundraising Dinner? Is this appropriate? . Whatever happened? So, Obummer’s flying to another Demo fundraising event? And the US taxpayers have to pick up the costs for his transportation? Is that fair?

But then Comrade Obama started polluting my TV every morning about 8 AM (noon Eastern) and I can't stand the sight or sound of him so I turned the TV off and the radio on the Rush. Like it a lot better and I don't yell at the radio nearly as much as I yelled at the TV. I had fallen out of the habit of listening to Rush on any regular basis.

Even the word to me has a negative connotation. I am beginning to think it the only thing President Obama really knows how to do. Even lately, I am not even sure he is very good at that. Once you realize he is just reading what David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel wrote on his teleprompter. Speeches, speeches, speeches.
