This country's founding fathers raged against "democracies" (also known as mob-rule). That's the reason why this country was founded as a representative republic.

It is not that anymore. I frankly don't know what it is, but I do know where it's headed and no thinking person would want that.

Of course the Coptic Christians in Egypt are learning what a democracy is. That is why our founders wanted a republic. Obama thinks we should have a democracy like theirs.

“Nothing learned from Egypt, obviously.”

Nothing learned from Libya, obviously.

And coming soon to a theatre near you, nothing learned from Syria, obviously.

Egypt is a success,another dictator and the Muslim Brotherhood marches on,Next take over for the brotherhood,Libya,now we are going to finance the Muslim brotherhood takeover of Syria! That supposes that Putin and the Iranians are going to put their tails between their legs and run at the thought of confronting the fearless tyrant Obamrambo.What do you think the chances of that are?
Maybe Obama thinks he can bribe the Russians by unilaterally disarming by cutting our nuclear missle arsenal from 3000 missles to 1000,500 below the strategic deterrent level.
Now I am sure our enemies will follow suit and just leave us alone.
This buffoon is going to start world war 3
