Obama's election was really the result of a perfect storm that resulted from a confluence of the Peter Principle and Murphy's Law. Somehow the principle that people tend to rise to their level of incompetence combined in a horrible way with the law that governs falling objects always falling where they will do the most damage.

re: Capitalism, a strong Military and human economic prosperity is evil and immoral
True! It's a bad way of handling things. BUT it's still the best system mankind's been able to come up with to date, AND it's the only thing that lets those Utopian dreamers pursue their vision of perfection.
I am personally in favor of doing away with the current system and post haste installing the better system. But unlike a liberal, I tend to be content to stick with the current system until another proves superior.
The ONLY reason any socialist/communist country can exist for more than a brief period is because there is a country, people and system like the Good Ol’ USA around to enable them.
This is not a new phenomena, just remember the fairy tale about killing the goose that lays the golden egg!

what should we do now?I'm afraid that my suggestion is so draconian that you'll have to read my mind to discover it.

Once they realize the impact and influence this crap has had on the general public, they will breed more of it.
This is why Obamao can openly and blatantly lie to the public without even an inkling of conscience. He knows the public is so gullible and ignorant, that they never check the facts of what he says and that his opposition who do, is actually a very small minority.
It's because of brothers & sisters like us, that any shred of the real truth is getting out to the public in the first place. And the impact on Bammy’s job performance polls shows. That, and besides the fact that vast numbers of Americans are deeply hurting from the Obamao economy and that the lies keep on flowing that everything is just wonderful and improving.

He is exactly that - a front man and a salesman.
At least that was the Emanuel-Axelrod-Soros plan initially. The trouble was that Zer0 turned out to be a lousy, boring, and predictable salesman. People got tired of his act very soon and started to tune him out. Obama turned out to be a flop in the role his handlers planned for him and no actor has much energy performing in a flop.

That’s the same mantra that was heard during the Carter administration, “is the presidency now much for one man”. The real question should be “is the man too small to be president”.

As much as I would like to see Hussein not serve out his term, do you really think Biden would be any better? Or, how about the third in line, Pelosi? The next three in line aren't quite as bad, but pose their own particular problems: Robert Byrd, Hillary Clinton and Timothy Geithner
Have the democrats put America in this box, or have Americans done it to themselves?
The only way out is to return massive Republican majorities in both houses this year. Make sure the candidates believe in a constitutional republic form of government and make them stick to it after the election.

Its a no-brainer that Obama is always tired, it takes more muscle effort to frown and scowl, and not to mention his infamous Mussolini/Stalin clenched jaw. *PING*!

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Being perceived as American history's largest delivery of Epic Fail instead of its savior is hard on a little man-child.
