“Yeah, ok people. Obama is a moron, but we will come out of this eventually, no problem. We’re America, we can do it!””
Are you freaking nuts?
At first pass, I'd tend to agree. But on second thought, nothing less than a total trainwreck will get the current crop of Americans off their couches and on their feet. We need that if this country is going to survive.
It won't be easy, but we can survive even this mess--IF we learn from it, discard the socialist crap and impediments to innovation and small business which have accumulated over the last few decades and get our butts in gear.
We are still the best country in the World, and once we shuck off the burden of dead weight (and by that I do not mean those who are unable to support themselves or the elderly, but the parasite classes who masquerade as public servants) we'll do one heck of a lot better.
It's past time we cleaned house, philosophically, morally, and physically.
Once we do, we'll be in a fine position to recover.
