In many ways, the biggest campaigner for Barrack Obama was his predecessor George W. Bush. George W. Bush, a Republican, neglected the USA's economy to focus on his
War on Terror. Worse yet, he neglected the more important front, the Afghanistan front, and concentrated on the Iraqi front, which is discredited by disclosures of
faked or skewed intelligence reports regarding the original intent, which is the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction, supposedly stockpiled by Saddam Hussein, then dictator of Iraq. The Republican Party paid dearly for George W. Bush's incompetence. The citizens of United States of America paid dearly for George W. Bush's incompetence but George W. Bush was their choice and their responsibility.
It is my hope that, at the very least, Barrack Obama, will clean up some of the mess that George W. Bush's incompetence created.
Yes, the US of A will have to look after its own but, it doesn't have to be an asshole about it.
