I suppose I( should have expected it. But still, it felt like a hard blow to the gut, just like when I woke up one day and discovered that Bubba Clinton had cruise-missiled the sh!t out of a turd world country.
I thought that, politics aside, at least Obama would heal the racial divide in this country. Was I ever wrong about that, as he poured hot oil on the flames.
I thought that he would at least make real progress on badly needed major alternative energy infrastructure. Instead he cannot get the "shovel ready" Cape Wind project into construction, because the Kennedy Klan does not want to have to look at windmills.
I thought that we had finally spent enough blood and money in the ME to stabilize the region, and I rejoiced when our troops returned home. But when faced with ISIS fanatics that want to return to a world to the fate of hapless victims under the rule of a sixth-century Caliphate, the Iraqi Army cannot win despite a 5:1 numerical advantage and superior weapons and training.
I thought we were going to be able to take serious steps to resolve serious problems. Instead, we got an incredible amount of bungling in every aspect of leadership, and an incredible intensification of the political divide.
Silly me.
