I also was angrier when young against both LBJ and Nixon.

As to Representatives, I live in a republican area and have a representative, who used to an example of a moderate Republican. I voted against him, but have known that it was useless. He was pretty good on the environment and was one of the republican Congressmen who stopped drilling in the ANWR in 2005 when the Senate couldn't stop it. He is what he is - I most always disagree, but he does represent the majority here.

As to Senators, I love Lautenberg an other than his inexplicable vote on the "torture" bill, I have no cause to be angry at him. As to Menendez, frustration when he puts holds on related things over Cuba policy and some of his foreign policy votes (including the same torture bill) is a better descriptor than angry.

That leaves Obama - and though there are disappointments - I thought he would move the US to a more moral foreign policy and there are times where it seems he could have really used the bully pulpit to counter RW lies better, I think he has done pretty well given the impossible situation he came into. So, no anger there.
