I think it is worse than that, Rod.
I do believe that while many of these people are smart enough to lie and get elected; they are not smart enough to govern wisely.
In other words, they are in deeply over their heads, and often thrashing about and making things worse. If the damage that is being done was cunningly crafted like some mad scientist at work, then at least I’d feel better, because at least those scientists would be competent if not brilliant (but evil, yes...)!
Our leaders, since Ronnie and Maggie left, are just evil and stupid, preening and prancing about like they are intelligent, with a fawning press and celebrity loving public.
The current crop—Obama and the Clintons and the democrats in Congress, as well as our Republican Congressional leaders and the Bushes, are a bunch of upper-class twits who couldn’t get a clue if it was handed to them with a big, shinny red bow!
I fear for this world, I really do! We are lead by the criminally stupid, who seem to appeal more and more to an electorate of morons who worship celebrities rather than pick real leaders.

I would dis-agree with you about these people being “bunch of upper-class twits”. All of these folks are smart and probably Type A personalities.
That these people do not believe in the concept of the U.S. Constitution and limited G’ment is totally different subject.
The old saying - Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely - came about because it is true throughout the ages.
Subdued *sigh*..THAT"S the blody truth.
