he could'a cleaned up by backing the notion that 'obama is a politician', just before the election. now, already too late, not even in office, and he stays away from bodies of water lest he be asked to walk on it by unbelievers.
nations don't change course unless they are severely beaten up and occupied by patient victors. obama may be a 'good king', better hope so as the last was so bad the e.r. team are shaking their heads. but he's just another king, for 4 years or 8, and the wheel turns again. in america, the wheel of history is more like the cylinder of a six-shooter- the nation plays russian roulette every 4 years and half the chambers are loaded.
america needs a law-giver, a constitution writer, a prophet- and needs to listen. not likely to happen, and juggernaut will keep rolling to destruction.
obama will just be one name on the role of kings. if mankind survives archeologists will surmise he was a particularly bad one, since the american empire visibly collapsed just after he took the purple.
