Ron Paul is more interesting in his speeches, and at least they've been consistent for over 20 years. Lamestream media keeps treating him as "lame" or "crazy," and that moniker pervades society, but I always find him inspiring, even when I disagree with him.

Oh I agree. I voted for Obama and had high hopes for him at the time, despite the fact he seems a little inexperienced. But I thought new, younger, blood and thinking woud make a difference. I do feel he has good intentions, and good ideas, but unfortunately he does not have the power to make things happen without others agreeing. And no doubt, he started as president with a really bad economy, many out of jobs, which had nothing to do with him. And I am sure it is a tough row to hoe to fix things right now. Not sure if anyone can really. I am very ignorant re politics so rarely post in any political posts on any forum. But it seems to me the housing industry and corporations letting people overextend their credit buying stuff they could not afford, started it all. How can one fix it? No idea. Hence why I just am glad for my job and really hope somebody, somewhere, at some point, can figure it all out, if that is even possible. And I do agree that he has been bold and speaks plainly re Congress.
That is, again, why I wish we had more choices re presidents during election time. Millions of smart minds in America, who probably can fix things, but I suppose if they are unknown and do not have the money and backing, they never get there. A shame.
