Everything is perfect in your hope and change world . . . until it is not. Then you will choke on your pride and ignorance. I no longer feel sorry for the millions exactly like you. They watch the stock market rise and believe this is a "sign" that this admin's policies and actions are "working" and "positive." They ignore the real happenings because the outcomes seem so ludicrous as to be even humorous to them. This "progressive" mind shift has about 54% of the population completely clueless. It is the other 46% who I pity. They know what is happening in their gut, but they are helpless to do anything but listen to the hatred and laughter of the mindless and watch the psychotic actions of those in charge.
