“God help us. Is this the best we can do after eight years of Obonzo?”
You are likely confusing the America of 2015, with a functioning country.
We are an IDIOCRACY now, and have been since 2006.
I think America lost its soul in 2005 when the American people cheered over the murder of Terri Schiavo, who died a day before Mother Theresa. Nothing much good has happened since, or have I forgotten something?
I wholeheartedly agree.
