Well, if you and others find my language and assessments of the state of our country to be over the top, then logically I would surmise that you don't grasp either the severity or the particulars of a situation, or both. We're not a classic fascist state... yet, but there are folks with fascistic tendencies with way too much power to ignore the potential for some kind of fascism to take hold. And again, I say corporate fascism is already upon us. Edited by JustOneDennisBergkamp, Jan 28 2014, 08:38 PM.

While I'm not sure I'd go so far as to agree with JODB that we're on the slippery slope towards the kind of fascism that we're familiar with from history (and the dictionary, apparently), I do agree with him that Obama hasn't exactly made it a point to stop it. Also, I really don't think their can be an argument for him being a good president. So we're climbing out of a recession...on the back of unfathomable and unmaintainable debt. His healthcare system? Great idea...in theory. There's no possible way it can work the way it was intended for a country this large (and so far in debt). Those are just the two most glaring examples. I voted for him the first time, but not the second (no, I didn't vote for Romney last time around, so don't accuse me of that). I could already see by the end of the first term that he speaks with empty words, and the ideas that do come to fruition are poorly executed (though many of the issues are exacerbated by Congress). As someone who considered himself a moderate liberal before the 2008 election, I couldn't be more disappointed in our president. |

And let's hope the NSA didn't see that post! |

Indeed! I am watching the State of the Union address...can't decide if that's good or bad. |
