Our "misguided" President

Mr. Obama seems to know NOTHING about American history, very little about the USA as a nation, and appears to be a captive of massive right wing revisionist history. He certainly is not a Democrat. His ideas are not those of someone brought up in a working class or middle class American family -- he acts more like a Republican than a Democrat. His actions are those of someone born with massive privilege, who has learned how to smooth over that reality with mildly populist rhetoric.

I am of the opinion he is an example of a version of "The Peter Principle" -- except that in his case the usefulness of his "Joe Cool" persona has ended. We are now left with a person who seems in over his head, paralyzed with the fear that his actions just MIGHT be unpopular.

As a result, he has placed the Government in the hands of those who damn near destroyed it.

The honeymoon is over.
