The graduated but undereducated youth are kept from revolting (and of course other forms of thinking) by a world of persistent entertainment.

The problem is the Obama regime has tried to spend America out of a recession. In doing so all it has done is dig the debt trap deeper. At some point they will have to stop spending (just ask Greece) and then there will be a double dip. Obama has tried to use the state to boost the economy but private investment is what is needed. With poor legislation there will almost certainly be a lag between the state slowing / stopping spending and the private sector starting to spend.
The problem is for a guy who wants to move "forward" he does and aweful lot of talking about the past. i don't think he really know how to move forward - he might want to but his whole world is rapped up in blaming the past for the present.

For a guy who is supposed to be about hope, Obama must be the most backward looking president in history. He spends most of his speaches blaming Bush, talking about what the Republicans have done in the past 2 years and comparing America to the great depression.
