As the article explains, although he got the votes, we all know Obama didn't deserve or really earn the right to be president. He got in on a public weariness with Bush, a very weak opponent, excellent speech-making skills and a media army that stridently promoted him to a voting population that wasn't really engaged and so, chanting the word 'change' got them to vote for Obama without asking too many questions.

Now, like 'Bill McKay', the fictional (liberal) Democrat U.S. senate candidate from California (played by Robert Redford) in the 1972 film, 'The Candidate', Barack Obama won the job he went after - and doesn't really know what to do with it. Although I'm sure he'll make a mess of it, the unfortunate part is that we'll be a more socialist country and far worse off when Obama and his administration are finally booted out of Washington.

Electing Obama was tragic for America. Although congressional Republicans are apparently energized by Obama's ineptness and the hoped-for defeat of his socialist policies, this is about more than just a party trading places in the seat of power. This is America's future - and it's looking grim, no matter how brave congressional Republicans feel right now or how out of his depth Barack Obama may be.

We're in trouble, folks....and not just the economy. We have a Leninist in the Oval Office. Inexperienced, inept and probably overwhelmed a bit, but still, in a position to do great harm to our country. I hope Obama and his party can be politically thwarted and that Americans will wake up before it's far too late to reverse the damage. I really do.
