In a somewhat similar analogy, Dem voters keep electing nitwits like Obama hoping they'll get a pony i.e. manna from heaven or a mountain of money from American taxpayers. I detected many notes of frustration from the various hands-outstretched ethnic groups in the last four years who were puzzled by the failure of the Obama admin to cure their material goodies problem in relation to the evil 1% who got to the mountain of goodies before they did. "Where is our mountain of goodies?" cry the aggrieved Obamatons. When is Obama going to take all the goodies from the undeserving rich and give it to them?

So Obama, not delivering in his first four years, now has to try to satisfy the angry mob who expected him to fleece the wealthy and shower gold down upon the mob. It didn't happen in the last four years, and chances are strong that it won't happen the next four years. But not from lack of trying by the Obama admin. Nevertheless, chances are high that four years from the unhappy and perpetually demanding takers will be just as unhappy and demanding. Will they still vote for the party that is represented by a mountain of fecal matter hoping there's finally a pony underneath? Millions of them will still keep on voting for the Dems. But I'll bet millions more will come to their senses and realize there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Oh, please. Paleocons have been hoping and praying that would happen for the last 60 years. So far, no joy. Do you want to keep at it for another 30 or 40 years, knowing how things turned out last time?
