We should be ashamed, Obama inherits a disaster and the disaster goes on and on because certain factions want to ensure that the President of the U.S.A remains hogtied by an obstructionist Congress, and  they cackle with glee and opportunism at every untoward event that they try to place at the doorstep of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We have lost the respect of our allies and our enemies. But they still fear us. What happens if China decides to call in the U.S. debt, due to the taunts and threats from certain candidates? Can we afford more war fronts? We will definitely need to beef up the military if we want fear to be our best ally because our real allies, those with Chinese ties and dependencies will need to take care of their own interests firsts.  Have we forgotten how unpopular the Iraq war was with the rest of the world? Our World Series was never anyone else but the U.S. This is the 21st C. Time to wake up, stop pretending,,,
