Midterm Erection

What exactly did we lose (as individuals or as a country) since Obama took over as President? Now everyone wants to take our country back--from what? You still have the biggest military in the world. You still have outright religious freedom (unless you are a Muslim), and you still have all those high-powered, semi-automatic weapons that you keep hidden in different & weird spots of your house...so tell me. WHAT?
Election day was Tuesday, and the voters spoke: They are angry that Obama didn't turn a shit storm into gold bullion overnight. They blame his administration for the economic recession (that was being caused by GOP-legislated deregulation even before Obama became a Senator.)
They are misinformed and confused.
In the modern world of instant information, you don't have to be a political scientist to make your opinion known to the world, and obviously the public can't tell the difference between an idiot & a reliable source. Fear-based politics have become the norm, and the more outlandish the lies, the more the happily ignorant people eat it up. It's a fucking circus. Until Americans get over themselves and realize that politics isn't just some boring, complicated waste of time, we must prepare for a minority to decide what is best for the majority. A minority who is misinformed, and confused.
