The Lesser Evil?

From now to November we're going to face a long and potentially nasty Presidential campaign. If we take the position that if there is no good alternative we must choose the lesser evil. The Obama vs. Romney battle will really not be that interesting given that both campaigns have bought into the "pro-business" read pro-corporate dogma. Romney thinks he already had the election won. Things aren't as bad as 1980 but not they're not as good as 1996 when Bill Clinton coasted to victory. Or maybe Romney hopes that a computer glitch in Florida will give the Supreme Court an excuse to throw the election to him. Obama in his neurotic desire to show that he's not an "angry black man" out to impose "African socialism" on America has signed the misleadingly named JOBs act. The "JObs" act will cause the next financial meltdown 5 to 7 years from now and sadly Obama will have to share some of the blame.
