Sorry nothing about Obama just the inside story of the Federal Reserve under Greenspan and Bernarke. An interesting piece for those who are really interested in this complex story.

The USA has been run into the ground by absolute, abject morons.

Ah, no you didn't. First you didn't name the morons, nor did you do much to describe how the running aground was accomplished. With neither the former or the latter you have neglected to provide one single word that would help anyone fix the problem or avoid making the same mistake in the future.

Of course, one of the things that distinguishes a moron from the intelligent folks is the dire need to synthesize complex issues into 12 word sound bites.

Cheap "Morals and Values" , "Mission Acomplished" slogans launched by the Evangelical Republicans don`t have any resonance with the American people anymore.
Bush administration has dragged our country`s good name through mud and dirt and brought this country into worse shape since the great depression...look no further than Katrina, Abu Graib, Guantanamo...Thank God he`ll be going home to Texas soon, I hope that the idiot won`t set The White House on fire on his way out!
