Is this a near perfect symbolism for what the typical pol does -- "Don't look here! Look over there!!"  ![[Linked Image from l.yimg.com]](http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/LZdrcPceBkWUP.1oHhRy0w--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00NTA7cT04NTt3PTM1OA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Reuters/2011-09-23T020438Z_01_BTRE78M05RU00_RTROPTP_2_USA-CAMPAIGN-DEBATE.JPG)

It's not too hard to understand why this country's in the shape that it's in. A nation "ruled" by a collection of cowardly corrupt clowns.

No need to apologize, Mama, Our Governor bears an uncanny resemblance to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. They have much in common beyond their horrifying countenance though..

It's not too hard to understand why this country's in the shape that it's in. A nation "ruled" by a collection of cowardly corrupt clowns. Joe Let's take your comment as a starting point.... My observation is that many other countries are similarly afflicted... and that our leaders and those other leaders achieved their position through the normal operation of diverse democratic processes operating in different societies. So our problem is not unique... other countries face similar problems and for similar reasons. If there are obvious straight forward solutions, it is puzzling that other countries have not discovered and implemented those solutions. Or, alternatively, perhaps the problems that we and other countries face emerge from common causes that may be somehow endemic to the democratic political process. And, if that is the case, I wonder if the problems are capable of resolution through a democratic process.? I am not expressing an opinion, just asking the question.

...If there are obvious straight forward solutions, it is puzzling that other countries have not discovered and implemented those solutions. Can we really use 'other countries' efforts as a benchmark to a resolution for anything? Take medical science for example. Cancer has been around for generations - has there been a successful global resolution to cancer? HIV? Nope. ...but people not related to medical science did find the break through just this past summer. My point: We can't look to politicians to solve our global problems - the solutions will most likely come from a whole different set of individuals with a completely different and compelling paradigm to find a resolution to our current crisis - individuals one would never even consider for finding such a solution. Clearly, Mr. Obama and his Bankster consultants (Geitner, Bernake, et al) haven't done anything good for the United States economy and its people. Yet, Mr. Obama keeps trying variations of his failed policies based on what his Bankster consultants keep advising. Could big donations by the banking industry for re-election be driving Mr. Obama's decision-making? My guess is that this is probably the case.
