America is feeling blue

So somewhere in the time frame of the primaries when the election was basically between McCain, Clinton and Obama I decided to sign up for all three candidate's mailing lists. Now that Clinton is out of the picture my subscription has changed to being registered for HillPac.com. This is fine, as I still find this kind of news interesting. The purpose of this new site is to try to help publicize and fundraise for state elections where Democrats may be taking over Senate seats previously held by Republicans. I thought this was an worth cause for the ex-candidate, and have enjoyed the e-mails. However, as I'm sure others have seen the Democrats are poised to just explode their majority in both the Senate and the House. Some are even saying they may have a 60% majority meaning they can essentially do whatever it is that they want.

Is this a good thing?

I'm a registered Democrat so don't get me wrong, I'm sure I'll agree with the majority of the things they end up doing, but is this a good thing for Democracy? Checks and blanaces are important, but it seems like having that much of a majority and having a Democratic President just tosses some of our checks and balances out the window. I wasn't previously planning on donating any money to any elections, but I'm starting to think I should donate to the GOP. This seemingly inevitable situation is a BAD thing and could possibly tarnish Obama's presidency if they're not careful.
