We carried alot more weight than that during WW1 and WW2 and were stronger from the effort. If Congress had taken their laser focus on jobs and really worked to fix what is broke in the USA, we could do it again. Sadly, our own tribes of Republicans and Democrats are quite satisfied in the USA not winning at anything as long as the blame can be deflected and the “other side” doesn’t come out looking good.It’s pretty pathetic.Respectfully,C.
While Varvel does raise a good point here, the “Syria” disc is much too large in proportion to problem and cost. Well, except the “ethical cost” of waging war on a country that has not attacked us.
Best to let the Russian plan for removing the chemical weapons, and letting the International Criminal Court, that we have NOT ratified to support, handle the internal “issues” in Syria.
It should be a wake-up call when our “enemies” keep coming up with more rational solutions than ours.
“And you are right vburke, “There’s a fail(ure) here and it’s not Obama.””..Everything about Obama says failure. A true leader would have found ways to unite our factions rather than intentionally drive wedges between them.
It’s somewhat interesting that the whole post is false. It’s more interesting that someone (who claims to be a lawyer) would go to the trouble of weaving this web of lies, and also more interesting that someone would fall for it. Kind of pathetic, if it weren’t dangerous.

Who controls the spending? Oh yeah, it’s the Republican House. There’s fail here and it’s not Obama.

So “hope and change” becomes “Cry HAVOC!”
It there was ever a time to not do something but just stand there, this is it.
And, can anyone explain who Bush being a **** is an excuse for Obama to be one?

This is, of course, all false.
