The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency

The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved 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 America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President |

In Response to The danger to America is not Barack Obama: The real danger to America are the corporations which have been trying to gain complete power and control over the people. This isn't only happening here, but in other countries where the corporations have siezed the wealth while their citizens are scrambling to pick up the pieces left for them. Lobbyists rule Washington DC where the Republicans are too frightened to stand up for the American people. They want more military spending as wars put the military industrial complex and contractors reaping in profits. Their objective is to privatize everything, to deregulate Wall Street again and to give more tax cuts to big corporations who profit from cheap overseas employment. |

President Obama a fool ? Did you graduate from Harvard, obtain a law degree and become President of the United States? Doing it all on your own, with no family money or inheritance. President Obama is a hard working American success story, whether you like it or not. You're a fine example of a right wing republican and such a gracious loser, as well.Response to The danger to America is not Barack Obama: The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

Actually the confederacy of fools lost. The people like Karl Rove who thought elections could be bought. The people like Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck the Tea Party who thought spreading hate and lies over the Internet would sway the people. They thought this election was in the bag for Mitt. They thought the American people were fools and would fall for their cheap shots but they didn't and that's why they are predicting Dooms Day because they think that will be believed. Now Mitt is sitting home all alone with his firecrackers he was going to pop when the won The election lighting one at a time with only Ann and his kids say OOh and AAh as they pop.

Well, gymdandee...Webster's defines fool in a number of ways 1. a silly or stupid person; one who lacks sense. 2. a professional jester kept by a person of rank for amusement. 3. a person who has been imposed on by others and made to appear silly or stupid. 4. a weak minded or idiotic person. 5. an ardent enthusiast who cannot resist an opportunity to indulge his enthusiasm.....there's more, but that should be enough to make the point that a fool who represents himself as a fool has little need to reinforce that image further. |
