Whoa !!!! humanist, I think you are inviting an argument from GorillaGirl, as far as I am aware she does not like Bush nor did she vote for him, she is steadfastly behind her country and exhibits the fact at every opportunity, even when under severe fire from us all (God Bless Her).
As to the news of Hillary Clinton's intentions, I think it will make little difference to the general policies of the U.S.A. since the whole set up of the government is now run from behind the scenes, as in the U.K.
The only change will be in the figurehead, it looks very much as if the 'Die is Cast' as far as the presidential position is concerned and it matters little about who is nominated to take the flak.
The general public will be treated in exactly the same way as always, I wonder why we ever bother to cast votes, we only select our preferences as to which person will lie to us, cheat and rob us, dictate to us just who are enemies are and so on. I wonder who will be next.
