Do you really think that making Republican presidents one term presidents was not a goal of any Democrats?! Because if you think that then you were not paying attention during the Bush admin! The difference is that Democrats will lie about what they want to do and Republicans will come and and say it!
Actually, it depends on how the Republicans spin it. If they block enough stuff, and make Obama and the "Democrats" look hesitant and ineffective, they will be able to use their deep coffers to wage a campaign crafted to be fed to people who largely know nothing about government and cant see further than their own wallet. If Obama is not on the ticket, minorities, especially blacks, will once again sit on the side line.
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.
