That would be a likely goal, though unlikely that they would state it so bluntly as McConnell said it after the 2010 elections. The GOP since 2008 has been working hard to make everything a personal vendetta against Obama specifically rather than the party or the issues. Even their once beloved insurance mandate is now the "unconstitutional Obamacare" in their words.
That is their goal with any President from the opposite party. I doubt the Democrats will obstruct Romney as effectively as they hope ......... depends on how the voting goes for the House and Senate seats being contested in November.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
