I am also astounded and can only think that the information I have about Obama is not the same as the general public has.

That the media cover-up worked extremely well. Extremely well.

I am also afraid that the media spin will go on and on, no matter what mistakes he makes, no matter how many terrorists he invites to the Lincoln bedroom, no matter how he compromises our security -— the media will cover for him.

All I can think of is that we live in such a rich country, where no one ever fears or is made to deal with the consequences of their actions, that people think there are also no consequences to electing a man like this.

‘Oh well, everything will be okay. Why not try socialism? It might be fun’.

Those two things -— absolute media propaganda and a comfortable feeling that there will never be any consequences to bad choices.

Today I cease to be an American. I have nothing in common with those idiots who would vote Obama, and they appear to be a majority.
I’m merely someone who lives in this place, and hope that my time passes before the this mistake yields it’s poison fruit.

I believe you are onto something here. With the exception of our elite Military, nobody in America younger than about sixty has ever had to break a sweat over anything more serious than his/her personal problems.

It is inconceivable to most Americans that evil exists, or danger lurks. They neither remember nor understand the Cold War; they have never seen a serious economic downturn; they do not know what socialism is or why it is evil; they have wholesale forgotten 9/11, a scant seven years ago, or worse think it was just a government plot; they are so busy enjoying their freedoms, they think they are effortlessly and forever free.

Yeah, we will need history to deliver us a severe rebuke if we are ever to become a serious nation again.
