Considering that Congress is split, I think things are as good as can be expected.
People forget how bad things were when Obama took over. I can only imagine what a disaster it would have been had McCain-Palin taken the White House in 2008 instead.
Personally, I would like to see Obama and the Democratic party rallying their supporters more to get out the vote in the important Senate and House races in November, because if they can win both chambers of Congress, while keeping the Presidency, I believe we will start seeing things move in a better, more productive, manner.
Remember that Obama was able to get quite a bit of legislation passed when the Demo's had a majority in both the House and Senate, during the first few years of his Presidency.
It's going to be a tough four years either way, therefore I would rather stay with a person with compassion and whom puts people before profits, rather than a passionless capitalist that would screw the middle-class before he would ever consider restoring taxes on the rich to the levels that they were at when Bush Jr was President.
Overall I would say that the system is broke, and is in need of major overhaul, however since neither of the two major political parties is doing much of anything to improve the system, we can pretty much expect more of the same.
Whatever happens at the polls on November 6th, I expect to be back slinging porn on November 7th regardless.
