"It seems that every three months around here there is some manufactured crisis". That's rich! Tell us about it, since you, Mr. Obama, are the one responsible for them. Yes, I know the media are your lackeys and you can do about anything, even treason, and it will NEVER make the news on one station or network. Meanwhile you blame Bush, the republicans, did I say Bush, the republicans, those of us working or retired, etc. I cannot stand to hear your voice. Surely there are some on the left who must be getting tired of this, as well.

I don't think you can say our laws are based on a constitution that is not in use much. It is totally ignored, & because of the poor education that our students are receiving, the electorate are ignorant of the Constitution and the limits it places on the three branches of government. Not only that, but it was purposely done. The 20th century saw education dumbed down to the point that even the smartest of our graduates, with few exceptions, are still illiterate in public or government affairs. They know what they know, but it is narrow and partisan. It is not broad and liberal in the REAL sense of the word as in a liberal arts education, or such. I could name 20 more failures from this century that were not listed here.
