Maintaining law and order, protecting our land against attacks, building interstate highways, rebuilding communities wrecked by a disaster, etc.
Those are all "needs". So what do you mean by "Politicians shouldn't be 'meeting any needs.'"?
I'm voting for Obama to reduce the burden of federal government by simplifying the tax code, enforcing laws that protect consumers, and bringing to light the part of the constitution that says (to paraphrase) that we're all supposed to be treated equal (or something like that). Obama, in my estimation, has the best chance to do what's right to make our economy more bullet proof (its not bad already, but Obama has good ideas to improve it) in both ups and downs. Our last President has failed greatly to create an economic system that is free from avoidable disturbances like the loan crisis. Obama has the leadership to institute measures that will reduce the burden of taxes and avoidable interferences.
