We pull out troops and replace with military contractors who get paid more and then pretend like we're done with Iraq. Yeah, right.

This is what politics is. Pretending to be different, pretending to be better, pretending to have a better plan, pretending to have all the answers... saying anything and everything to get elected only to find themselves in a system that by design, requires consensus and strongly resists change.
Obamas problem was that he was insanely naive. You can't change anything without both parties, the house and senate. He's learned the hard way that simply blaming the other guy is not leadership and its a story that grows tiresome quickly.
Voters problem... the same. Naive.
At the heart of American Politics are long term problems continually being tackled with short term solutions and in accordance with popular rhetoric during election cycles.
