I was just watching newsnight, and it looks like Obama is about to take a kicking. It’s hard not to feel sorry for the guy; it’s also hard not to feel that america is nought but a bunch of morons. Obama attempted to enssuure every american was ensured a decent standard of medical care, among other things, while trying to steer an economy through troubled waters, but according to the pundits, obama is almost universally hated. Problem is, obama is a victim of his times: he was / is a visionary, but the people of america, fed so much right-wing bull from the likes of Fox, don’t seem to undderstand what he is trying to do. He seems to have a more european, state-oriented attitude to things, but because this stands to jeopodize the monopolies certain businesses, like Fox and private medicade companies had over the people, the average americans were fed so much crap about Obama being unamerican.

It really makes me sad, as well as stiking me as ironic, how it was american capitalism got it’as people into so much trouble, yet that same system has such a stranglehold over the people that it dupes them into blaming other ways of thinking for their woes. In a way, they can’t accept that it is their indeviduallism, which they perceive Obama as challenging, which is the root cause of their prroblems. Obama is trying to grow the economy by pumping money into the state, but is accused of being unamerican buy investing too hard. Sorry if I’m not being very coherent tonight, but can america not see it;’s trapped in a way of thinking, and if it doesn’t escape, this soort of thing will happen over and over again. Obama offered solutions caused by the american system by proposing to change that system, buut in doing so Obama was blamed for those very problems. It seems the american status-quo is too rigid, with too much wsway over the mindset of the american people.
