Time for this show to come back?


For the last couple of seasons this show became an anti-bush podium and when Obama won it ended. It seemed a bit like "mission accomplished, let's quit." but 4 years later,

-Obama's health care plan was proposed exactly like that by republicans in the 90s and mainly increased the profits of the Health Insurance companies (Still no public option)
-Obama has deported more immigrants than Bush
-Obama has reduced the amount of government employees and the effective tax rate has gone down for the rich
-Obama has been more aggressive against marijuana than Bush and hired a former Bush employee in a key position for drug law enforcement
-Obama has done little to regulate wall street and blocked some key legislation that would have regulated it
-...

In short, he has not done half as much as he promised or as people expected. The only difference is that hardly anybody protests because everybody knows that a republican president would be even worse and they are scared that criticism might move swing voters to the reps.

So I think that this show should come back for a final season and mention some of that. Show intellectual honesty, be as open about the shortcomings of this government like you were about those of the last one.
