While I am inclined to agree, it's not like that never turns up in the election.
I generally like Obama and am liberal, but know he is really not that great in influence. (Congress baby).
I have certain things that I disagree with the Republicans on that would likely be pushed through witth a conservative white house (hackneyed immigration reform, anti-gay legislation, attacks on welfare) so I'm voting for Obama as a bulwark (somewhat).
Again though, 2/3rds rule for veto overrule, so I really wonder how the congressional battles will turn out. I'm not sure if the Republicans can increase their numbers any more but I REALLY don't want that to happen.
