You are free to imagine that the Obama Regime is a "strong" government, but it's not. History shows many governments that had "strength" in their past but ended up blowing the empire. The Swedish Empire, for instance, was just dribbled away in the 1700s like it was nothing. By 1809 they had to give Finland to the Czar. It didn't get better after that.

Sweden may be said to have had a "weak central government" in most of the 1700s. The King lost political control of much of Germany, Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Norway, and real control of Finland.

A weak Obama Regime could definitely see much of the Southwest lost to Mexico, New England to Socialist Canada, and Texas to a new independence movement. If you think current unemployment is bad, imagine the country cut into pieces by its enemies.
