Comment America voted for him... (Score 1) 1657
America voted for him...... twice.
What does that say about America?
Now you leave him in power, pissing away your reputation with the rest of the world, your ecology and your economy and you sit by while his pals in Washington stall and the press (who like their comfy little world) gloss over it all.
Will the election bring anything better? Possibly... but unless a clear message is sent loud and clear now where is the incentive for the President (Obama, Mcain or whoever ends up with the job) or any of your other elected officials to treat the law as more than a guideline and care about the American people as more than a source of revenue and sometimes cannon fodder?
You should be proud of your elected officials, your mechanisms of State and your country... not apologizing every time you meet a foreigner.
The independent media - Slashdot and the rest of the citizen journalist world - are the last line of defense against the brainwashing and dumbing down that traditional media are very complicit in supporting.
Gosh, I feel like a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist reading this but.... am I that wrong?!
