Two major players in a complex and diverse country.

Transition, Transformation and Radical Thinking.

There are two hemispheres in the brain. In a strange way they control what happens in opposite sides of the human body. So the right side of he brain can be responsible for all the activities on the left side of the body and so on. But sometimes there is a disconnect between the two halves. The arbiter sometimes goes out to lunch. What happens when this takes place is that the work done but the right side is not recorded log book of current activities the result is the undoing of stuff that one side has just done. A patient was seen buttoning his shirt with his right hand only to unbutton the same shirt with the left hand.
As we progress and shift gears into the next phase of ours Iives whether that is four or eight years, let us hope for a quick diagnosis of this problem so that we can help the two hemispheres of our political life function better. Currently, we only have two major ones (the debates about increasing them will be reserved for another day) the Democrats and the Republicans. We desperately need to find a middle ground of sensible actions that benefit all Americans. If we fail to do this, the presidency will be reduced to executive orders. In addition to this we will find ourselves going through cycles of doing and undoing. Which will be governed by who we elect and how long we elect them for.
In addition to this, the first term will become much harder for freshly elected presidents who as is the case today will spend time working through the projects of previous presidents as opposed to delivering on their own promises.
