The Age of Mediocrity and Mendacity

Well that was an interesting week, no?

Riots in the streets, police officer gunned down, political influence used to save the elite from prison....

We live in the Age of Obama.

It's usually unfair to judge a president until he's left office but I'll give it a go:

The country is racially polarized.

The economy is stuck in permanent mediocrity.

Healthcare is more expensive and harder to get.

Government offices are weaponized against the president's political opponents.

The armed forces are hollowed out.

The Middle East is in tatters.

China is on the march.

Russia makes gains.

Our enemies laugh at us.

Our Allies fear us.

Take from a prof, never elect a college prof to the Oval Office.

I missed W on 1.20.09 and I miss him now.
