"...our entire Gov't has failed us in so many ways..."

Well, we elected them all the entire way the last 30 years.
In some case (GWB) less than 50% did so. It was what the law dictated, and we live with the outcomes and hopefully learn.

The politicians are us, or I should say whatever "Us" is at election time. The minority who isn't, has to grit their teeth and just protest wherever and however they can.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government there is..........except for all the others."

In hindsight, now, we learn that "we the people" have elected all of those who promised, for 30 years, to buy our votes with cheap money, good times, and no pain or consequences.
I would say that we elected a bunch of Bozos....but that would be an insult to clowns.

My last post here until my monthly visit in March.

"...on the politics I agree...can't believe that dude mentioned lynching..."

It's a fact that the only people who hate Prez O more than those on the right (for him being too far left) are those on the left (for him being too far right).
He just has his strengths and faults like all the rest....wow, big surprise.
By any objective, demonstrable, provable, observable, fact-based, honest non-selective reading of history, he's relatively Centrist.

Left, right, conservative, liberal....these terms have become pretty meaningless anymore....they no longer fit or work.
If we don't start pulling together and compromising, and stop waiting for politicians to save us, then this nation is toast.

I'm no big fan of Prez O, but IMHO the fact that so many on the far Right and far Left hate him for opposite reasons says more about our society than about their President....
