26. Well I am cynical for sure.

But whether it is overdone history will say.

But please understand this....I am not blaming Obama although you may think that....I blame the system that can and does capture any honest man and turn him or her into a tool for the system...Jimmy Carter was the first time I realized that...cause there was no doubt in my mind he was an honest and good man, and yet he could do nothing.
It is not Obama that is the problem...it is us really...we allow ourselves to be punked, pissed on and distracted from things that matter by the shiny things they dangle before us...or the latest outrage on the TV.

WE need to grow up...WE need to take back this country to a democracy and get rid of the plutocrats and crony capitalism and corruption...and while I have no plan we can follow I know for sure that pretending everything will be all right will do nothing...except perpetuate it.
