I guess I just too far away to sample the Kool Aid that 52% of U.S. voters consumed. As a retired Foreign Service Officer it is stunning that someone – a first class fellow I’m sure – was just elected President of these United States who couldn’t have passed a top secret security clearance for an FS-03 position at State.

Are we the “dummest”[sic] people on earth? Maybe. We’re sure in the running. Although it looks like down here the voters may elect the same FMLN that murdered and pillaged and generally wrecked the Salvadoran economy during the ’80s. But, hey, they’re bored with the same old, same old here also.

Americans of the year 2008 have to be the least discerning voters in the history of the planet ( that is polite speak for saying that they are the dummest!)

If the USA wants to be considered as the greatest country in the world, I wish its citizens would act it and understand who is watching America and stop thinking that it is 1932 or 1965, depending what day it is.

Perhaps more discerning than the Quebecois who vote for the Bloc Quebecois like pavlovian dogs

I still admire and respect and think that they are a fine people as compared to the euros or the arabs and feel very fortunate to have the USA as my neighbour. But,

Obama will be either Carter II or Clinton III – the only name on the list of names from the Clinton era not yet chosen in the Obama Admin is Monica Lewinsky!

Nader is right- the Obama campaign was the greatest con-job in the history of US politics; change change cahnge, etc. and 52% of the electorate and the brain dead US media fell for it and still are falling for it.
