Perfect! This is how I imagined Obama would look in the White House today. He was, after all, born a poor black child… Now all he needs to do is invent a doo-hickey for eyeglasses…
The trouble is, Mike, that it’s not all mindless. Some here are working on an agenda, and the stakes are high. You Canadians might start thinking about your border with us. You never know, alot of us may want to leave soon!
“I wonder what America could accomplish if they all worked together on their mutual problems instead of simply, mindlessly, attacking each other.”
Let’s see now. If by “America” you mean the corporate elites and their owners (the ones who really govern the US), they already believe they’re “work[ing] together on their mutual problems”: how to get still richer and more powerful while remaining beyond the reach of the electorate.
If, however, by “America” you mean the people who believe that (1) there’s a substantial difference between the two parties, that (2) having two parties (or one more than in the old Soviet Union) is enough to represent the political spectrum of a country with 320 million people, and that (3) being able to choose between the two means “America” is a democracy, then … oh, never mind.
Record DOW, car sales up (despite recalls), unemployment down to 6.1%, housing sales up, new construction going back up, wars winding down and not spending more on killing our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq (though the “righties” want to go back in and ignore the BUSH pullout schedule), and the ridiculous right plays newspeak news and review.
