I have no doubt that Obama is a threat to the future of this country, but your post is just nonsense

Agreed, but there is one thing that really worries me, and that is the willingness of the American people to panic when tough times come. Just take a look at September 2008, when the banks began to fail. The MSM breathlessly reported "the impending disaster". It was the end of the world as we know it. And Americans have known a pretty good world for many years. So many people looked for a savior, anyone to come in and save their 401's, their savings, their way of life. In pops our Dear Leader and because of fear, millions of Americans were willing to allow a huge government takeover.

While the economy has stunk these past three years under our Dear Leader, I do think it has served to remind many Americans of tougher times and that we lived through it. Tough times demand tough choices.

Yes, I completely agree.
