#2 The electorate became so risk-averse, so obsessed with comfort and living anxiety-free and status-obsessed, that it believed electing someone like this was at best harmless but in most cases really awesome. Too many have e had it too good for too long not on skill and hard work but on borrowed money and promises of crappy politicians, educators, and entertainers that they started believing in the proverbial never-melting, self-licking ice cream cone. Damned fools.

Obama is a symptom, not a cause, of the malady that affects the U.S. and really the West in general.

#4 no mo uro, I'm not sure I agree.

The electorate feels very similar to what we had during Carter. Oil prices are worse but we are better positioned. Our international enemies are crazier but patheticaly weak compared to the Soviets. If we had another Reagan this whole thing could be turned around for another couple of decades until the folks forgot and the rot accumulated again.

#6 And as I said the other day, we don't need another Reagan, we need another Calvin Coolidge.
