Do you have any solutions? I don't. I wish I had a big enough ego to be smug about any of this.
It scares me that people like Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, Carrie Prejean, and all those other loud jerks can command all the media attention. I don't wish to join them at their end of the spectrum or on the other end or even in the middle. I can't imagine Ron Paul or any of his inane groupies (good choice of words, there!) coming up with any constructive solutions to the smallest of our big problems. That really sucks since we have big problems on top of the small ones.
So -say what you like (or not) against Obama, he did appear to represent a clear cutoff of Bush/Cheney policies. That is, except for the problem areas. We are still sending military people to Iraq and Afghanistan, there are still prisoners in Guantanamo, and his administration continues to support the application of a blanket "national security" claim to stop trials of suspected terrorists, leaving the hapless suspects imprisoned on unknown and unknowable evidence. Did we get fooled again? Were "The Who" wrong about that?
