General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: To those who worry about how this will affect Obama. [View all]have dire consequences for Obama, but his actions do have consequences for future Generations and his children. This is what causes revolts, revolutions and rebellions. There are tipping points in History, when the people your decisions affect no longer tolerate Tyranny. That is when they are more prone to take violent recourses to bring about change, when nothing else works. They no longer believe in the system. So he maybe safe but he has to consider what it might be like for his children.
The older people get, it will not affect them either. For example the generation of the Civil War is dead and long gone. I doubt anybody from that era would recognize this country today, and its leaders would be shocked at the President of the United States being Obama. It is what future Generations would think of him and his descendants will feel the effects of his decisions. He will be seen either negatively or positively by people. I know which side, that I would want to be on, and that is the side of the oppressed.
