As would the government designed to provide the best results with the fewest costs in both resources and restrictions on its citizens. A failed government is one where liberty must be sacrificed for safety and the future is continually mortgaged for immediate political advantage. Despite the rhetoric Republicans are not a party of small government, they have continually increased the scope and expense of federal government ever since WW2.

I've seen it multiple times. Even though it was directed at Kathy, I'll say that this isn't Vegas. I'm not betting for or against Obama. I want our government to succeed. I want them to be efficient, effective, responsible, and reliable. I want them to represent the will of the people, and do it responsibly. I want Americans to succeed. If Obama can have a hand in that, great. Why does this question always get posed? I've seen it multiple times.
