'It Came from Wasilla' By Todd S. Purdum "...What does it say about the nature of modern American politics that a public official who often seems proud of what she does not know is not only accepted but applauded? What does her prominence say about the importance of having (or lacking) a record of achievement in public life? Why did so many skilled veterans of the Republican Party—long regarded as the more adroit team in presidential politics—keep loyally working for her election even after they privately realized she was casual about the truth and totally unfit for the vice-presidency? Perhaps most painful, how could John McCain, one of the cagiest survivors in contemporary politics—with a fine appreciation of life’s injustices and absurdities, a love for the sweep of history, and an overdeveloped sense of his own integrity and honor—ever have picked a person whose utter shortage of qualification for her proposed job all but disqualified him for his?" www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2009/08/sarah-palin200908

Being a Republican, I admit the McCain/Palin ticket didn't win, I of course voted for them. Obama did nothing to make me feel he was the "man". After he won, I seriously gave my hope to him, wanting him to succede, and hoping he could finally lay to rest the "slave" mentallity, that a small portion of our population persists on trying to drag with them, affecting their lives and that of others.
Now, things are much worse, and any day, I'm afraid behind Obama the curtain will fall, and we will finally see the faces of his handlers, manipulating him from behind.
Obama will go down in history as the President who did more damage to the United States than anyone, any evil dictators, any Imperial leaders, etc.
He inherited a huge 1 Trillion + debt form Bush, which he skillfully grew to over 4 Trillion, with "drunken sailor" spending. A Stimulis Bill was has failed, TARP, bailouts galore, a too cozy relationship with Unions, and surrounded himself with people with known connections to radical groups. And, he has his own "private" government, with his numerous Czars.
And the latest mess, the Health Care Bill, and OH, by the way, we now have another 2 Trillion in debt that suddenly "popped" up. Seems they missed, just a little bit, on the nummbers.
Lucky for me I'm old enough I won't live many more years, and won't see the horrible end of the United States of America, totally owned by foreign nations.

The people behind him are scum. That's why he has all these "csars" so they don't have any congressional approval or oversight. The guy thinks he's the freaking king.
Obama is a low class piece of trash.
