Yes that is an interesting observation. It makes me appreciate Ronald Reagan and his achievements even more. He had an imperfect dad as well. Many Americans have grown up without fathers, due to misfortune, abandonment and other causes, and have not parlayed that into traitorous behavior against this Republic. No way could Obama have been elected without the concerted effort of a myriad of forces, international and home grown, bent on destroying this country for their own particular purposes. His background made him the perfect candidate to front for the powers behind the teleprompter.
Agreed. Although Americans seem to fall for the new face ("the outsider") far too often in politics. We set ourselves up as easy targets because we want to project our own beliefs and values onto the next blank slate. We conservatives are no better as we all wait breathlessly for our own Great Conservative Pumpkin to rise up from the pumpkin patch and lead us to victory.
