I have a hard time understanding how we as a country got to this point. Obama has governed more as a moderate Republican than a Democrat. The Health Care Reform Act that Republicans love to rail against was a Republican proposal in the early 90's in response to what they called Hillarycare and is basically what Mitt Romney got passed when he was governor of Massachusetts. It is certainly not what Democrats wanted and Obama pissed off a lot of Democrats by pushing for that version. And I am one of those. He has managed to piss off almost every part of the Democratic base by caving to Republicans time and time again. So he should be going down to a solid defeat except Republicans apparently are so intent on nominating somebody, anybody, who can trash talk but who is wholly incapable of governing a country. Really? Why do they hate this country? I love my country and I want all the citizens here to succeed and do well.
At one time in my life I studied World War II in depth because I could not understand how a proud country could descend into the Gates of Hell, so to speak, and sanction the murder of millions. The best explanation was for evil to succeed all it took was for good men to do nothing. Sometimes I wonder if that's where we are.
