(36,848 posts)The problem isn't with Obama directly. At some point Obama is constrained by what he can and can't accomplish.
Jimmy Carter was right all along which is one lesson America never learned. Jimmy Carter knew the Soviet Union was swirling the drain because the CIA annual reports had been telling him that. It was the Neocons who came up with their own fucked up, completely misguided assessment of the Soviet Union. The result was the Raygun resurgence of the cold war which cost trillions which we flushed down the drain. After not learning that lesson, Bush and the Neocons once again cost us even more trillions with the fucked up idea of bombing people into Democracy.
Meanwhile half the country can't understand why Europe looks at us like we're fucking idiots.
