WTF is it with our “President”, and ALL the Soviet references? Sputnik, Czars, etc. His true Pink color seems to be showing through. It seems in his mind EVERY thing would be OK if we would just change to Russia.
Actually a lot of things would be okay if we would just change to Russia: low flat income tax, serious Christian religious education in state schools, vigorous response to terrorists, a serious human intelligence capability, serious covert op capacity, being a net exporter of energy, . . .
And under Obama, our crony capitalism isn’t that much worse than what Russia has. And they’ve even got the honesty to call their analogs of Goldman Sachs, GM and GE honchos “oligarchs”.
Unfortunately, Obama seems to think a lot of things would be okay if we would just change to the USSR. If he succeeded, a fair number of states should have to do what Russia did back in ‘92 and bring the Union down by seceding.
