My oh My!!! What a wonderful analogy of what has happened, this is perfect. Explained simply to what we know has happened. Thanks

Blame the GOP. We had control of the Congress and POTUS under GWB for 6 years. We could have used 9/11 to go after the left, under Bush 41 we could have used the fall of the Soviet Union and subsequent access of the KGB archives to go after the left. Many in the left were guilty of treason during the Cold War. Instead the RINO just wanted bygones be bygones. They thought the left was defeated. It was not because they took root in our schools and colleges, and from their they planned their comeback. It took many years but they finally created a network and illicit fund raising machine that took advantage of technology to funnel foreign money to support BHO. ACORN, SEIU, foreign sources for donation via credit card w/o encryption paved the way for BHO record fundraising and Wall Street recklessness provided the catalyst to tilt the election in 2008. Many of these factors could have been eliminated when the GOP took power under Bush41 and GWB. Of course Rove’s harebrain scheme to gain Hispanic voters by giving amnesty did not help and McCain’s campaign reform was a real boner to boot.

He assumes most people have the time to vet Obama whereas many don't and, besides, it should have been the press’ job; he assumes that reason should win out if people did their job of vetting Obama yet what truly wins out is emotion and spectacle; he misses the point that people want to feel good for electing a black president: they want to believe that America is not a racist country.

But he is right it is America's fault. They get the government they deserve.

Well stated.
The Republicans had them on the ropes and didn't go for the knock out punch, now we are living with the results. That just about drives me crazy whenever I think about it.

Excellent piece.

We have to build the culture we want to live in. We can’t be passive passengers on someone else’s bus.

I think the saying goes

You don't get the government you want, but rather the one you deserve

No, no, no

White on rice, on a paper plate, with a glass of milk, in a snowstorm

Barack Obama is only one man. A bad man, yes, but he is a symptom more than a cause. Without millions of fawning Americans, he would just be a community agitator, vainly preaching Alinsky principles from a soapbox.
