"We should, we could, we will........." Fine, Barack, great promises, but HOW will you pull this off? Presidential candidates typically cite the word "we." As a voting senior citizen, I've heard it many times. "No more taxes!" "A chicken in every pot!" "Don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!"

Great stuff, but where's the beef, the HOW of such statements? People leave for Washington as elected officials. Soon they fall under the sway of the embedded party leaders and the lobbys. "Log rolling," is the name of the game in Washington politics.

I'm not so sure either candidate has the "juice" to really have an effect on the tide of congress.
