“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
Well, I'm glad someone else sees this. I've said this in so many words, before, in posts on Free Republic, in that the real problem with Obama being elected is not "Obama" himself, but rather the people who put him in office....
That's always been the problem. And no matter what happens to Obama, as long as you have those people who vote these kinds of characters in office, we'll never change and "go back" to the way this country should be run.
The problem is really never the leaders themselves, but rather the people who put those leaders there in the first place.

This is indeed more disturbing than Obama. It looks like 40 years of leftist indoctrination in our public schools has indeed taken its toll.
Which also involves restoring the expectations of said electorate when it comes to the elections of pols, and expecting those candidates to have the same common sense and good judgment. That is another key to restoring our country.
